Bill > SB886

This bill, the "Our Kids Play Safe Playground Safety Act of 2024", requires each state or local government unit responsible for constructing and maintaining playgrounds to ensure that the playgrounds are built and maintained in accordance with specific safety standards, such as the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission's Public Playground Safety Handbook and the American National Standards Institute's standards for playground equipment and impact attenuation of surfacing materials. The bill also mandates that these government units inspect their playgrounds at least once every two years to evaluate compliance with these safety standards and maintain records of the inspections, including a written plan to address any safety issues discovered.
