The family of 11-year-old Kile Glover, who died in a boating accident last summer on Lake Lanier, watched as the Georgia House of Representatives passed new boating safety regulations Wednesday. The legislation changes boating under the influence laws to more closely mirror driving under the influence laws, phases in safety education courses and raises the life jacket requirement age to 13 years old from 10. It also raises the age limit to operate some boats and personal watercraft and requires boating education.
