(a) The Arkansas State Game and Fish Commission shall cooperate with agencies of the United States Government in establishing rules and regulations with reference to the operation of vessels on any waters of this state that are maintained or controlled by federal agencies. It is the intention of this subsection to encourage the establishment of adequate regulations on federally controlled waters for the promotion of safety in the operation of vessels.
(b) Any law enforcement office of a subdivision of this state may make, at any time, but only after public notice, formal application to the commission for special rules and regulations with reference to the operation of vessels on any waters within its territorial limits, including, but not limited to, the establishment and marking of speed limits and no-wake zones and shall set forth therein the reasons which make the special rules or regulations necessary or appropriate.
(c)(1) The commission shall consider the application and approve the special rules and regulations or disapprove them and state in writing the commission's reasons for disapproving them within ninety (90) days of their submission or the rules and regulations shall be considered properly adopted by ordinance or local law.
(2) However, nothing in this subchapter shall prevent the commission from making special rules and regulations with reference to the operation of vessels on any waters within the territorial limits of any subdivision of this state where the local law enforcement office has not established a water patrol.
