A Long Island state lawmaker is targeting drunk boating by making it a felony offense to drive while intoxicated with kids on board.

Another proposal also would revoke an offender’s license to drive a car for boating while intoxicated conviction.

“Drunk boating has long plagued Long Island’s waterways and destroyed families but it is preventable, and we must enact laws to deter this behavior and punish those who thoughtlessly endanger other lives,” Senator Jim Gaughran (D-Suffolk) said Monday at Huntington Harbor, flanked by advocates who have lost loved ones to tragic boating accidents.

The first bill, “Leandra’s Law,” makes it a Class E felony to drive a boat while intoxicated when kids ages 15 and under are on board. Currently the crime is only a misdemeanor.

Any repeat offenses will result in a Class D felony.

The legislation also allows a court to suspend both the driver’s boating license and the boat’s registration for up to two years.

The second bill costs drunk boaters their motor vehicle driving license when they get a BWI after their first offense.

Alcohol was cited as the leading cause of fatal boating accidents in 2014 according to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security.

“We have zero tolerance for driving a vehicle while intoxicated, we should have zero tolerance for boating while intoxicated,” Gina Lieneck, a boat safety advocate who lost her 11 year old daughter Brianna in 2005 in a drunk boating accident.

“This law will save lives…nobody that owns a boat and is under the influence and gets arrested and kills somebody should be able to walk free.”

She said in 2018 alone, there were 138 BWI arrests in New York, 52 of those arrests in Suffolk County.

Meanwhile Gov. Cuomo will sign “Brianna’s Law” Tuesday on Long Island, named for Lieneck, which requires all New Yorkers with boating licenses to take an eight-hour boater education safety course within the next five years.

The bill takes effect on Jan. 1, 2020 and will apply to anyone born on or after January 1, 1993.
