Includes lakes in adopt-a-municipal park, shoreline or roadway programs
This bill expands existing community volunteer programs to include lakes alongside parks, shorelines, and roadways. It allows local governments to partner with volunteers for cleaning up litter on these water bodies while providing necessary safety gear and signage. The legislation also maintains a liability protection clause, shielding local governments from lawsuits if volunteers are injured during cleanup activities. Finally, the act sets a standard timeline for implementation once it becomes law.
