Bill > AJR81

This Joint Resolution designates the month of June each year as "Dry Drowning Awareness Month" to educate the public about the dangers of dry drowning and secondary drowning, which are rare but potentially fatal submersion injuries that can occur after ingesting even a small amount of water, leading to airway spasms or lung inflammation, and can manifest with symptoms like coughing, difficulty breathing, sleepiness, or behavioral changes up to 24 hours after water ingestion, emphasizing that these conditions are preventable through water safety measures such as swimming lessons, close supervision, and enforcing pool rules.
