Effective May 7, 2025, bands are color-coded and lake-specific. An intact band from the same lake plus the inspection form permits abbreviated inspection and waives another inspection fee; launch and entry fees remain. Other-lake bands require full inspection and fee. Decontamination certificates do not replace inspection. Non-motorized craft are inspected every entry.
