     As a condition of a commercial permit issued pursuant to this chapter, any permittee who, in the course of providing an excursion between state boating facilities, disembarks fare-paying passengers with the expectation that they will enter upon any public or quasi-public real property during the course of the excursion, shall comply with all rules applicable to these areas having the force and effect of law."
