Establishes lifeguard recruitment campaign; appropriates $1 million.
This bill establishes a state-funded lifeguard recruitment campaign administered by New Jersey's Department of Health. It appropriates $1 million from the General Fund to develop a public awareness effort targeting potential recruits through social media, transit ads, radio/TV, and an informational pamphlet. The pamphlet will detail lifeguard requirements, training, and benefits, and be distributed at beaches, schools, health clubs, and other public venues. The campaign aims to increase lifeguard staffing to improve water safety, with implementation beginning immediately.
