Requires municipalities that have public swimming pools to provide information regarding "dry drowning."
S 1800 requires New Jersey municipalities with public swimming pools to provide information about "dry drowning" to residents. The bill mandates that the state Department of Community Affairs (with Health Department input) create and distribute a poster listing dry drowning symptoms and a one-page pamphlet. Municipalities must post the poster prominently at all public pools and provide the pamphlet annually - either during pool registration or during the first two weeks of pool operation. Dry drowning refers to delayed breathing issues after water inhalation, distinct from immediate drowning. The law takes effect immediately, but the posting and distribution requirements begin four months after enactment.
