Legislative Progress
Key Points
- If a federal beach is short on lifeguards, the Interior Department can hire local lifeguards to cover normal hours.
- The federal government must pay local agencies back for all reasonable costs, including for current and future deals.
- This covers swimming spots run by National Parks, Fish and Wildlife, Land Management, and Reclamation.
- Short, everyday absences like sick days do not count as a shortage, so this is for bigger gaps.
- The goal is fewer unguarded beaches, quicker rescues, and safer visits for families.
