Florida TaxWatch Named Our Bill Among its Top 10 Priorities for the 2026 Legislative Session: 

"Florida TaxWatch has released a series of reports showing that drowning remains a leading cause of death for children in the United States, with Florida consistently ranking among the highest for child drowning fatalities. These initiatives could prevent countless tragedies while saving millions in taxpayer costs associated with emergency response and healthcare. HB 85 and SB 428 would expand the eligibility for the voucher programs from children that are four years old or under to children aged between one and seven years."
