§ 72. Change of ownership, name or hailing place. Should the
ownership, name or hailing place of a float change after state registry,
the owner of the float shall make new application in form similar to
that required for original registry and upon receipt of such application
the corporation shall issue a new state certificate of registry and
record the same in its office. The owner or owners of a commercial float
found navigating the canal system, the ownership, name or hailing place
of which shall have been changed without proper application for
re-registry to the corporation, shall, upon due proof thereof be subject
to a penalty to the people of the state of New York not to exceed one
hundred dollars recoverable by the attorney general in an action in any
court of competent jurisdiction.
