Some smarta$$ staffer caught the language and a Substitute Bill has been submitted. The important changes are:
Section 1. (a) This bill shall apply to the operation of certain recreational boats in inland waterways, rivers, and streams that are within 100 miles (MY NOTE - CHANGED FROM 50) north of the Gulf of Mexico shoreline, (MY NOTE - ADDED) and to areas on the Alabama River that are located within three miles of the city limits of Montgomery, Alabama excluding the Tenn Tom Waterway and Intercoastal Waterway.

The "full version" is available on the legislative web site http://alisondb.legislature.state.al.us/acas/ACASLogin.asp; click on the bill number (HB625); the Amds/Subs to view the substitute.

It is on the fast track for approval. The second reading was 4/16 and is scheduled for the third reading/vote today. And what a mixed bag of sponsors/cosponsors - 3 D; 8 R; and they represent from Mobile to Jefferson Counties. The good news is I can't find a companion bill that has been introduced in the senate.
