Federal beaches would get more lifeguards to keep swimmers safe during staffing shortages.
This bill would make sure federal beaches have enough lifeguards by letting local agencies step in during shortages. It would also guarantee these local agencies get fully paid for their services, making beaches safer for everyone. This applies to beaches managed by federal agencies like the National Park Service.
Today, federal beaches can face lifeguard shortages, sometimes leaving swimming areas unmonitored, and local agencies helping out might not get fully reimbursed for their costs. If this bill passes, the Secretary of the Interior would have to find local agencies to fill these gaps. Those local agencies would be guaranteed full reimbursement for all reasonable costs, making federal beaches safer.
