§ 1009 Vessel Operation Rights Transfer
This law says you can only sell, lease, give away, or inherit a boat‑operating right if the state commission says it's okay, and the commission can pause or cancel those rights if there's a good reason.
A family that runs a small ferry wants to sell the ferry license to another family.
Before the sale can happen, they must get permission from the commission. If the commission later finds the new owners aren't keeping the ferry safe, it can suspend or cancel the license after giving them notice and a chance to explain.
