California AB1005 promotes drowning prevention in public schools by requiring informational materials on water safety.

California AB1005 mandates that public schools provide water safety informational materials to pupils and their parents. These materials, provided by drowning or injury prevention organizations, must be age and grade appropriate, align with federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidelines, and be free of charge. Schools can distribute these materials through various means, including assemblies and classroom instruction. The bill also encourages the State Department of Public Health to review existing statutes and regulations to ensure they support drowning prevention efforts.
