An Act amending the act of March 10, 1949 (P.L.30, No.14), known as the Public School Code of 1949, in terms and courses of study, providing for school swimming education program; in reimbursements by Commonwealth and between school districts, providing for payments on account of school swimming education program; and making an appropriation.
HB 1885 requires Pennsylvania public schools to include swimming education programs in their curriculum. It creates a reimbursement system where the state funds school districts for program costs, including payments between districts. The bill also allocates a specific state appropriation to cover these expenses. This directly affects all public school districts in Pennsylvania by adding a new mandatory program and providing dedicated funding.
