A House bill that seeks to clarify property ownership along Missouri rivers and streams is raising concerns among paddlers and others who use the waterways for recreation.
The last line in the bill indicates that the Federal govt cannot designate any MO waterway as “navigable” … what’s that mean for the Federally designated Ozark Scenic Rivers?
Read the bill yesterday and got dizzy. Some language is contradictory.
This is pure craziness: “A riparian owner has title in fee to the low water mark of a navigable watercourse of the state or a public navigable watercourse”
I am of the opinion that the sponsor of the bill has a hidden agenda.
I think that agenda is probably tied to builders, sellers of & prospective owners of riverside McMansions.
“Get your canoes & kayaks off my river, and off my property you f----n peons”
