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. It authorizes millions in grants for states, tribes, and non-profits that enforce strict safety standards and run public education campaigns. This means increased safety inspections and better targeted educational resources for pool owners and high-risk communities.
Key points
Authorizes $2.5 million annually (through 2028) for grants to fund pool safety enforcement, inspector training, and drain cover repairs.
Prioritizes funding for areas with the highest per capita drowning rates and for underserved, minority, or rural communities to address safety disparities.
Requires states and tribes receiving grants to dedicate at least 25% of funds to hiring and training personnel for safety inspections and enforcement.
