Explanation
The bill requires the Department of Energy and Environmental
Protection (DEEP) to provide a swimming lesson program in certain
state parks, allowing the agency to contract with a nonprofit for this
purpose. This requirement is estimated to result in a cost to DEEP of
less than $500,000 annually.
The bill also allows the agency to accept grants and donations from
external sources to administer the program, resulting in a potential
revenue gain to DEEP, to the extent this occurs.
The Out Years
The annualized ongoing fiscal impact identified above would
continue into the future subject to inflation.
