New Zealand passes first reading of law requiring kids under 15 to wear lifejackets on small boats.
A proposed New Zealand law requiring children and young people under 15 to wear lifejackets on small recreational vessels has passed its first reading, backed by water safety groups.
Data from 2000 to 2024 shows 424 drownings in craft-related incidents, 324 of which involved people not wearing lifejackets.
Officials say consistent national rules could prevent up to 20 deaths yearly, improve rescue outcomes, and eliminate confusion caused by varying regional regulations.
Advocates urge extending the rule to all ages, comparing lifejacket use to seatbelts or bike helmets.
