Bill Summary

For legislation to exempt certain pools from certain licensing requirements. Consumer Protection and Professional Licensure.

AI Summary

This bill aims to exempt certain public and semi-public outdoor inground swimming pools, specifically those installed prior to January 1, 1998, from specific regulations. The key provisions are: 1) exempting these pools from the requirement of having a continuous 4-foot walkway around the pool, and 2) exempting them from the requirement of having continuous recirculation of the entire water supply, as long as the water is appropriately filtered or circulated to maintain clarity and cleanliness. The intent is to provide flexibility for these older pool installations while still ensuring proper water quality standards.
