Requires installation of Type IV flotation devices at certain lakes, ponds, and rivers.

This bill requires state parks, forests, and local parks to install Type IV personal flotation devices at lakes, ponds, and rivers where swimming, boating, or ice-skating is allowed. The devices must be permanently placed near the water and accompanied by a sign indicating their presence. Counties and municipalities may use existing open space and recreation trust funds to cover the cost of purchasing and installing these flotation devices. The legislation also clarifies that neither state agencies nor local governments will face liability for the installation or use of these devices.
