Since you are not using the launch ramp you are not affected. Since it is voluntary you can choose whether to participate, or not.
The explanation by the State Representative said the intent was to have users of the ramps pay something towards maintenance. It was felt that the ramps are currently maintained using motorboat registration fees and that was unfair since there are other users of the ramps that do not contribute towards their upkeep.
Although I am not in favor of more government regulations and fees, with the explanation the intent of the legislation makes sense to me.
