Designates the month of June of every year, "Dry Drowning Awareness Month."
This joint resolution designates June each year as "Dry Drowning Awareness Month" in New Jersey to promote public awareness about dry drowning and secondary drowning. The bill directly affects the general public, particularly families with children, by encouraging recognition of these rare but deadly conditions that can occur after water ingestion during swimming activities. Key provisions establish the official designation and request the Governor to issue an annual proclamation calling for public programs and activities focused on water safety education. The resolution also outlines symptoms such as coughing, breathing difficulties, and behavioral changes that may indicate these conditions, emphasizing prevention through standard water safety measures like supervision and swimming lessons.
