The department may enter into, amend, revise, suspend, or revoke reciprocal agreements or arrangements with appropriate and duly authorized agencies of other jurisdictions whereby vessels properly numbered and equipped under the laws and regulations of this State are granted the same or substantially similar privileges, exemptions, and benefits enjoyed by vessels properly registered and equipped in such other jurisdictions in exchange for substantially similar privileges, exemptions, and benefits granted to properly registered and equipped vessels from other jurisdictions by the State.

(2) By the Coast Guard, for a period of at least sixty days. [L 1991, c 272, pt of §2]
