Plain Language Summary

# HR 4751 Summary **What the Bill Does** HR 4751 would update and extend the Virginia Graeme Baker Pool and Spa Safety Act, a federal law that sets safety standards for swimming pools and spas. The bill would reauthorize certain programs under this law, meaning it would renew funding and authority for existing safety initiatives. The specific programs and amendments aren't detailed in the available information, but the bill addresses pool and spa safety regulations and oversight. **Who It Affects** This bill would primarily affect pool and spa owners, operators, and facilities across the country, as well as swimmers and families who use these facilities.

It could also impact manufacturers of pool and spa equipment that must comply with safety standards. State and local governments that enforce these safety rules would also be involved in implementation. **Current Status** The bill was introduced by Representative Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-FL) in the 119th Congress and is currently in committee, meaning it has not yet advanced to a full vote in either chamber of Congress. Further details about specific safety provisions or program changes would require additional legislative documents.
