Creates a transportation subsidy to increase access to water safety instruction
This bill creates a state-funded transportation subsidy to help public school students access private water safety instruction courses. It allows eligible K-12 students in public schools to use the subsidy for transportation to qualified private facilities offering water safety programs, provided there are no more than 10 such facilities within 2.5 miles (in cities over 1 million) or 5 miles (outside those cities) of their school. The subsidy is optional for schools and requires students to provide proof of enrollment in an approved program. The state education department will establish regulations covering eligible transportation types (like school buses or public transit), parent transportation eligibility, and subsidy distribution methods. The bill takes effect 90 days after enactment.
