"The Department of Wildlife Management shall coordinate with the local law enforcement agencies in Louisa and Spotsylvania Counties for the provision of an additional 6-hour shift on Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays between Memorial Day and Labor Day annually."



Explanation

(This amendment directs the Virginia Department of Wildlife Management (VDWM) to coordinate with local law enforcement agencies in Louisa and Spotsylvania Counties for additional law enforcement presence on Lake Anna. The agency has law enforcement responsibility for Lake Anna, a Virginia public waterway, and has decreased its presence on Lake Anna, despite four deaths in 2020 and numerous DUIs, reckless boatmanship, boats failing inspection, and disabled crafts.)
