Requires installation of Type IV flotation devices at certain lakes, ponds, and rivers.

Summary

The bill directs the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection, as well as county and municipal governments, to permanently install a Type IV personal flotation device at every lake, pond, or river in public parks or state forests where water activities are permitted. Each device must be US Coast Guard‑approved, placed near the water, and clearly signed. Funding may be drawn from existing open‑space and recreation trust funds, and the law adds no new liability for the agencies installing the devices.
