Existing law prohibits a person or entity from manufacturing, selling, delivering, distributing, holding, or offering for sale in commerce in this state a wearable personal flotation device that is not approved by the United States Coast Guard. Existing law defines for these purposes a "wearable personal flotation device" as a lifejacket, puddle jumper, water wings, or other flotation device designed to be worn or attached to the body of an infant or child.

This bill would replace "puddle jumper" with "swim vest" in the definition of "wearable personal flotation device."
