Virginia Graeme Baker Pool and Spa Safety Reauthorization Act

This bill reauthorizes the Virginia Graeme Baker Pool and Spa Safety Act, providing federal grants to States, Indian Tribes, and qualified nonprofits to prevent drowning and drain entrapment. It requires grant recipients to spend at least 25% of funds on hiring/training personnel for pool safety enforcement and drain cover inspections, with the remainder for public education on pool safety. The program allocates $2.5 million annually (2026-2030) for grants and a national awareness campaign, prioritizing areas with higher drowning rates and underserved communities. Recipients must report on fund usage, outcomes, and barriers. The law defines "nonprofit" as 501(c)(3) organizations with proven pool safety experience.
