Reauthorizing Pool and Spa Safety Grants to Prevent Child Drowning.
This law renews and strengthens federal programs aimed at preventing child drowning and entrapment in pools and spas.

This means increased safety inspections and better targeted educational resources for pool owners and high-risk communities.
