- (1) The purpose of this rule is to implement reciprocity between Oregon and Washington regarding the licensing of charter boats on the Columbia River downstream of the bridge at Longview, Washington. Reciprocity avoids the conflict, confusion and difficulty of attempting to find the exact location of the state boundary in or on the waters of the Columbia River when carrying passengers for hire for angling, sightseeing or other recreational purposes on licensed charter boats.
- (2) The reciprocity provisions of this rule and the reciprocity provisions adopted by the State of Washington, do not authorize the launching, pick-up or discharge of passengers for any purpose in a state other than the state where the charter boat is licensed.
