Establishes provisions relating to summer and day camps

HB 2398 sets safety standards for summer and day camps offering aquatic activities in the state. It requires camps to provide Red Cross-certified lifeguards at specific ratios (two for the first 25 children, plus one for every 15 additional children), mandate swim tests for all participants, and require U.S. Coast Guard-approved life jackets for children unable to swim across a pool. The bill prohibits camps from using hot tubs, spas, saunas, or portable wading pools for children’s activities. Additionally, camps must maintain emergency plans for medical, aquatic, and other crises, and all staff must be trained in CPR and AED use.
