Bill > HF2147

This bill amends Minnesota state law to establish specific requirements for hot water pools (such as hot tubs or whirlpools) located on single-unit rental properties and houseboats. For hot water pools on stand-alone rental properties, the bill mandates that the water temperature cannot exceed 106 degrees Fahrenheit, and the property owner or resort must test the water for chlorine/bromine, pH, and alkalinity levels before each new rental group's arrival. The property owner must also provide renters with a notice explaining that the hot water pool is not subject to all standard public pool regulations. The bill exempts these hot water pools from most public pool requirements, while still requiring a conspicuous warning sign that informs users the spa is exempt from certain sanitary requirements and that they use it at their own risk. Additionally, the bill prohibits local governments from creating additional regulations or banning such hot water pools that meet these state-level criteria. The changes apply to both single-unit rental properties and houseboats, though houseboats are granted slightly more lenient exemptions from testing and notification requirements.
