Bill > SB61

This bill amends Kentucky state law regarding swimming pool regulations to clarify an existing exemption for private residential pools. Specifically, the bill modifies the language around pools located on the same property as a single-family residence by explicitly stating that such pools are exempt from pool safety regulations even if the owner rents out access to the pool through a sharing platform or charges a fee to guests. The bill removes the previous restriction that the pool could not be used in connection with a home occupation or business. The change means that homeowners can now potentially rent out or share access to their private pool without losing the regulatory exemption that previously applied only to pools used exclusively by the owner and their personal guests. This adjustment provides more flexibility for homeowners who might want to monetize their pool access while still maintaining the simplified regulatory status of a private residential pool. The bill does not change other existing safety requirements for public or semi-public pools, such as lifeguard provisions or emergency shut-off switches.
