Bill Summary

AN ACT relating to the authority of a property owners' association to prohibit or regulate certain swim instruction provided in a pool on an owner's or resident's property.

AI Summary

This bill amends the Texas Property Code to limit property owners' associations' ability to restrict swim lessons conducted by certified swim instructors on residential properties. Specifically, the bill defines "certified swim instruction" as swimming lessons provided by an instructor trained by recognized organizations like the American Red Cross or YMCA, and prevents homeowners' associations from completely prohibiting such lessons. However, associations can impose reasonable restrictions, such as requiring lessons to be conducted only in the rear yard, not visible from the street, between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m., with no more than four students per session, and ensuring participants have access to a permanent, connected restroom in the main dwelling, attached garage, or accessory building. Any provisions in homeowners' association rules that conflict with these new guidelines would be considered void. The bill is set to take effect on September 1, 2025, providing property owners and associations time to understand and adapt to the new regulations.
