Florida Statutes Title XXXIII. Regulation of Trade, Commerce, Investments, and Solicitations § 514.073. Swimming Lesson Voucher Program

(a) Establish a network of swimming lesson vendors that will accept the vouchers offered by the program in exchange for providing swimming lessons. To establish the network, the department may contract directly with swimming lesson vendors or contract with one or more nonprofit organizations that promote swimming safety to subcontract with and manage swimming lesson vendors in one or more counties, or both.

Any swimming lesson vendor that offers swimming lessons at a public pool that is owned or maintained by a county or municipality must, if requested by the department or by a nonprofit organization contracted by the department, participate in the program.

(b) Establish a method for members of the public to apply for swimming lesson vouchers and for determining an applicant's eligibility. The department shall establish eligibility criteria necessary for a family to receive one or more vouchers from the program, including, but not limited to, the following:

(c) Subject to specific appropriation, issue vouchers to eligible applicants.
