Bill > SF1630

This bill modifies Minnesota's regulations regarding hot tubs on rental properties by expanding an existing exemption from public pool regulations. Currently, hot tubs located on houseboats are exempt from public pool requirements, but this bill broadens the exemption to include hot tubs on any rented property, specifically adding two new categories: (1) hot tubs on stand-alone single-unit rental properties rented by the property owner or through a resort, which are only intended for use by the rental property's occupants, and (2) removing the specific reference to houseboats. The bill maintains a key requirement that such exempt hot tubs must display a conspicuous notice informing renters that the spa is exempt from state and local sanitary requirements and that users assume their own risk. The exemption applies to both the statutory requirements under section 144.1222 and related Minnesota Rules, effectively providing more flexibility for property owners while still requiring a clear warning to users about the lack of regulated sanitary standards.
