Thats the feds, not state wildlife and fisheries agencies. If you don’t like the law saying you need a throwable aboard your boat, your gripe is with the Coast Guard since that’s who sets most boating regulations.

You should lookup Dingell-Johnson and Pittman-Robertson acts. Federal excise taxes on fishing, hunting, and firearms equipment that’s a dedicated revenue stream for conservation and wildlife management. Part of how the funds get allocated state by state is the number of paid license holders per state and the state has to put up matching funds (which come from license sales).
