A California bill aims to tighten safety measures for swimming pools at child daycare facilities, to prevent drownings.

Citing a 2023 incident where two infants drowned in a daycare pool in San Jose, Assemblywoman Gail Pellerin has introduced Assembly Bill 2866, which would mandate such facilities regulated by the state follow the same safety standards as other public and private pools and spas.
