Bill > SF2764

This bill modifies Minnesota's existing law regarding hot water pools (such as hot tubs or whirlpools) on rental properties, establishing specific usage and safety requirements. The bill distinguishes between hot water pools on stand-alone single-unit rental properties and those on houseboats, creating different regulatory standards for each. For hot water pools on single-unit rental properties, the bill requires that water temperature not exceed 106 degrees Fahrenheit, that the property owner or resort test water chemistry before each new rental party's arrival, and that renters be provided a notice explaining the pool is not subject to all standard public pool regulations. The bill also prohibits local governments from creating additional regulations for such hot water pools beyond these state requirements. Additionally, all such hot water pools must display a conspicuous warning notice informing users that the spa is exempt from certain sanitary requirements and that they use it at their own risk. The changes aim to provide clear guidelines for rental property owners while balancing safety concerns with practical usage considerations for small-scale, private hot water pools.
