SUN SHADES FOR RURAL PARKS & RECREATION

Summary

The bill earmarks $3 million from the state’s general fund for the Department of Health to contract the construction of protective shade structures in rural public parks and other outdoor recreation areas. Its purpose is to lower ultraviolet radiation exposure, a leading cause of skin cancer, for people who use these spaces. Projects will be chosen based on lack of existing shade, high UV risk, and cost‑effective designs.
