"§302A- Ocean safety and stewardship education.

and administer an ocean safety and stewardship education program to be conducted
at each public elementary school for students in the fourth grade.
(b) The
department may consult or contract with private organizations or instructors for
the purposes of this section."
SECTION 3. Within one hundred eighty days of the effective date of this Act, the department of education shall implement the ocean safety and stewardship education program as required by section 2 of this Act.
SECTION 4. New statutory material is underscored.
SECTION 5. This Act shall take effect on July 1, 2050.
