Summary — H.R. 1506 (Introduced Feb 21, 2025)

Bill Number: H.R. 1506
Introduced: February 21, 2025
Status: Reported enrolled (actions through June 2, 2025)
Classification / Subject: Listed as a resolution; subject entries include HOUSE COMMITTEE COORDINATOR, OFFICE OF THE (N7771) and Resolutions—Congratulatory & Honorary (I0705)
Sponsors: W. Gregory Steube (primary); cosponsors Donald G. Davis, James C. Moylan, Donald Norcross, Deborah K. Ross

Purpose and intent (what is known)

The publicly available version content for H.R. 1506 (the “Introduced in House” text) contains a single enactment clause stating: “This Act may be cited as the Safe Water Instruction for Minors Act of 2025” (the “SWIM Act of 2025”). No additional statutory text or operative provisions are included in the version provided.

Because the bill title in the metadata and the single-line citation conflict (one referencing a congratulatory resolution for the House Committee Coordinator’s Office and the other naming the SWIM Act), the precise substantive purpose and operative changes H.R. 1506 would enact are not available from the supplied materials.

Key provisions (available and unknown)

  • Available: The bill’s enacted short title would be the “Safe Water Instruction for Minors Act of 2025” (SWIM Act of 2025).
  • Not available: No further language, definitions, mandates, funding authorizations, obligations, or enforcement mechanisms are included in the supplied text. Therefore, specific provisions (for example, whether the bill would require water-safety curriculum in schools, create grant programs, or direct federal agencies to issue guidance) cannot be confirmed.

Who would be affected

Based on the short title only, potential stakeholders that commonly relate to “safe water instruction” proposals include:
- Minors/students and parents
- K–12 schools, school districts, and educators
- State and local education and health agencies
- Public-safety and parks/recreation departments
- Organizations that provide swim instruction and drowning-prevention programs

However, because the bill’s operative text is not provided, this list is representative and speculative, not definitive.

Legislative and procedural status

  • Introduced in House: 2025-02-21
  • Referred to House Committee on Ways and Means: 2025-02-21
  • Filed: 2025-05-31
  • Rules suspended; Adopted; Reported enrolled: 2025-06-02

The “reported enrolled” status on June 2, 2025 suggests the measure advanced through the House adoption process on that date. The referral to Ways and Means and the rapid subsequent actions merit confirmation with official congressional records due to the metadata/title conflict.

Notes and next steps for readers

  • The available materials are inconsistent: the bill title metadata refers to a congratulatory resolution, while the introduced text provides only the SWIM Act short title. The operative statutory language is not included here.
  • To determine the bill’s full substance and legal effect, consult the official enrolled bill text and any committee report or Congressional Record entries for H.R. 1506 (Congress.gov and the House Clerk’s website are primary sources).
  • If you want, I can: (a) check Congress.gov and the Congressional Record for the full enrolled text and any explanatory reports, or (b) draft a likely summary of typical SWIM-type proposals (e.g., school-based water safety training and grant programs) clearly labeled as hypothetical.
