Bill Summary
Amending the act of December 21, 1989 (P.L.672, No.87), entitled "An act providing for the regulation of health club contracts; and providing for further duties of the Bureau of Consumer Protection, the Attorney General and district attorneys," providing for lifeguards.
AI Summary
This bill amends the Health Club Act to require health clubs with swimming pools to maintain certified lifeguards during pool operating hours. Specifically, for any swimming pool with a water surface area of 1,500 square feet or larger, the health club must have at least one certified lifeguard on duty while the pool is open to members and guests. A "certified lifeguard" is defined as an individual holding a current lifeguard certification from an authority recognized by the Department of Health. The purpose of this legislation appears to be enhancing water safety at health club swimming facilities by ensuring professional, trained supervision is present when members are using the pool. The bill will go into effect 60 days after its passage, giving health clubs time to adjust their staffing and meet the new requirements.
