CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas â The Texas State Legislature recently passed two proposals penned by State Representative Todd Hunter; one of them being the JeâSani Smith Act.
The JeâSani Smith Act is named after a King High School student who drowned at a local beach in 2019.
House Bill 3807, the JeâSani Smith Act, would require cities, counties, and the Parks and Wildlife Department to add signs and lifeguards by each pier, jetty, or other structure that extends into the Gulf of Mexico on public beaches. House Concurrent Resolution 46 would designate April as âBeach Safety and Rip Current Awareness Monthâ in Texas.
