As of July 1st 2014 if you were born on or after Jan. 1st 1998 you must have a Boater Education Permit from the DNR proving you have taken and passed the test.
I am not required to have it, but I am taking it anyway just to see what my son will have to do. It is suppose to be 3 hours of online course. I can tell you after being at least three hours into it and just completing the tests for units 1 and units 2 that it is a much longer course than just 3 hours overall.
Here's a article about it;

And here's where you go to sign up.

It's good information that everyone should know.
