HRES 1247 United States House · 118th Congress

Recognizing the importance of "National Safe Boating Week".

HRES 1247 is a non-binding House resolution recognizing National Safe Boating Week. It acknowledges the significance of this annual observance (held in late May) and highlights statistics about boating safety, including that drowning causes 75% of boating fatalities. The resolution supports existing safety procedures like life jacket use and encourages Americans to boat safely. It does not create new laws or policies, but formally urges federal, state, and local partners to continue promoting safe boating through events during this week.
