Bill Summary

Relative to the availability of personal floatation devices at swimming pools of certain municipal and recreational programs and camps. Public Safety and Homeland Security.

AI Summary

This bill modifies Section 127A½ of chapter 111 of the Massachusetts General Laws by changing the word "excluding" to "including" in line 6 of the existing statute. While the bill text is very brief, the title and government summary suggest this change relates to personal flotation device (PFD) availability at municipal and recreational swimming pools and camps. By changing "excluding" to "including", the bill appears to be expanding requirements for personal flotation devices to be present and available at these facilities, potentially to enhance water safety for swimmers. The modification seems intended to ensure that more swimming locations have appropriate safety equipment readily accessible, though the specific details of the requirement are not fully elaborated in the provided text.
