The bill was passed last year.
The original bill, which only addressed a mandatory no wake for Silver Lake at a certain height, was ruled ITL (inexpedient to legislate) early in the session and effectively died.
A second bill, HB 648, dealing with a different issue (a formation of a commission) was ammended in the Senate later in the session to include the Silver Lake restriction. That bill survived and was signed into law by the Governor. The restriction we now have went into effect January 1st of this year.
