All states have laws against boating under the influence (BUI), which make it a crime to operate a boat or watercraft on a public waterway while under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
In Wyoming, operating a boat or watercraft under the influence of alcohol or drugs is illegal, similar to driving a vehicle while impaired. The state's BUI (Boating Under the Influence) laws are enforced to ensure safety on public waterways. According to Wyoming Statutes Section 41-13-204, a person is considered to be under the influence if they have a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of 0.10% or more, or if they are incapable of safely operating the vessel due to alcohol or drug consumption. Penalties for BUI in Wyoming can include fines, imprisonment, and the suspension of boating privileges. It's important for boat operators in Wyoming to be aware of these regulations and to operate watercraft responsibly to avoid legal consequences and ensure the safety of all individuals on the water.
