(KSL News) -- A rash of carbon monoxide deaths over the past few years has prompted new boating rules in Utah.
From now on a boat may not be operated when a person is touching the swimming platform, even if the engine is idling and the boat is not moving.
It's also illegal to pull anyone on a tube or other device within 20 feet from the back of the boat.
And boats can no longer tow a person in a developed marina or in a designated wakeless speed area.
