Designates May 15 of each year as "Water Safety Day" in New Jersey.
This bill designates May 15 of each year as "Water Safety Day" in New Jersey to raise public awareness about drowning prevention and safe water practices. The resolution does not create new laws or funding but requests the Governor issue a proclamation encouraging citizens and officials to observe the day with educational activities and programs. It highlights statistics on drowning risks, particularly among children and certain demographic groups, to underscore the importance of water safety awareness. The bill takes effect immediately and serves as a commemorative measure rather than a regulatory change.
