An Act relative to increased access to safe swimming
This bill directs the Massachusetts School Building Authority to allow funding for new or renovated swimming pools at specific schools. It targets facilities in municipalities with populations between 35,000 and 250,000 that have lower-than-average household incomes and lower-than-average rates of bachelor's degree attainment. By adjusting the grant program regulations, the legislation aims to make safe swimming pools more accessible to students in these designated communities.
