The bill amends the Swimming Lesson Voucher Program in Florida, specifically revising the age requirements for children eligible to receive vouchers for swimming lessons. The new provisions state that children must be between the ages of 1 and 7 years old, replacing the previous requirement that children be no more than 4 years old. This change aims to expand access to swimming lessons for a broader age range of children, thereby enhancing water safety in the state.

Additionally, the bill outlines that the Department of Health will establish a method for the public to apply for these vouchers and determine eligibility based on criteria that include the child's age, family income (up to 200 percent of the federal poverty level), and the family's residency in Florida. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2026.
