Summary
Recreational Boating Safety Act of 1986 - Reduces by ten percent the amount of funds allocable to an eligible State for recreational boating safety programs if such State does not have in effect by a certain time a titling system consistent with a federally prescribed uniform titling system for recreational vessels. Directs the Secretary of Transportation to prescribe a uniform system for State titling of recreational vessels. Permits a recreational vessel that has been titled under a federally approved State titling system to travel between the United States and a foreign country without entering or clearing with the Customs Service. Terminates the National Boating Safety Advisory Council on September 30, 1990. Reduces the membership of such Council from 21 to 17 and requires its composition to include members from: (1) State officials responsible for State boating safety programs; (2) recreational vessel manufacturers; (3) recreational boating organizations; and (4) the general public.
