Bill Summary
For legislation to require the installation of alarms for swimming pools. Public Safety and Homeland Security.
AI Summary
This bill requires the installation of pool alarms for all swimming pools, including in-ground, above-ground, and on-ground pools, hot tubs, and spas, at residential households. The bill defines a "pool alarm" as a device certified to the ASTM Standard F 2208, which can detect motion or pressure on the surface of the water. Building permits for new or substantially altered pools cannot be issued without a pool alarm, and existing pools must have a pool alarm installed by the owner. The bill also mandates annual inspections of pools by building inspectors to ensure the pool alarm is present and operational, with fines for non-compliance.
