Extends authorization of the swimming pool safety grant program and the education and awareness program through fiscal years 2025–2027.
Extends the authorization period for two programs under the Virginia Graeme Baker Pool and Spa Safety Act so they will be authorized for fiscal years 2025 through 2027. The two programs affected are the swimming pool safety grant program and the education and awareness program. This change keeps the programs legally authorized to operate during those fiscal years but does not itself appropriate money or change program rules.
