Bill overview
This bill prohibits businesses in New Jersey from selling or manufacturing personal flotation devices (PFDs) that haven’t been approved by the United States Coast Guard. It defines ‘personal flotation device’ to include items like lifejackets and puddle jumpers. Businesses found in violation could face civil penalties. The goal is to ensure consumers have access to safe and effective PFDs, particularly for children, to reduce drowning risks.
