Federal HB5063 aims to ensure lifeguard staffing at federal beaches by addressing staffing shortages.

Federal HB5063, known as the Safe Beaches, Safe Swimmers Act, addresses staffing shortages at designated swim locations managed by federal agencies. If the Secretary of the Interior identifies a staffing shortage, the bill mandates entering into agreements with local governments to provide lifeguards. These local lifeguards must be reimbursed for their services. The bill defines a staffing shortage as a level of staffing that negatively impacts the ability to adequately staff a designated swim location with federally employed lifeguards.
