Water Safety (Utah Code: Title 73 Water and Irrigation; Chapter 18b)

This chapter of the Utah Code concerns water safety. The Board of Parks and Recreation may make rules necessary to promote safety in swimming, scuba diving, and related activities on any waters where public boating is permitted. The Board of Parks and Recreation may consider recommendations of and cooperate with other state agencies and the owners or operators of those waters. The Board of Parks and Recreation shall designate officers to enforce board rules made under the authority of this chapter. Those officers have the same authority in making arrests and responsibility in arrest procedures as they have in their other enforcement activities. ---
