NMTA supports a 2020 phase-out for copper paint

NMTA's Board met yesterday and agreed that Jan 1, 2020 would be an acceptable timeframe to phase-out the point-of-sale of paints for recreational boats under 65 feet.

Additionally both bills in the House and Senate remain alive. They are Senate Bill 5436 and House Bill 1785. We are working with Rep. Upthegrove to update his timelines.
