Bill Summary

For legislation to exempt certain pools from certain licensing requirements. Consumer Protection and Professional Licensure.

AI Summary

This bill proposes to exempt certain public and semipublic outdoor inground swimming pools, specifically those installed before January 1, 1998, from specific regulations. These exemptions include the requirement for a continuous four-foot-wide unobstructed walkway around the pool, including a curb at the edge, and the mandate for continuous recirculation of the entire water supply to produce bubbles. Instead, these older pools will be considered compliant as long as an appropriate amount of water is filtered or circulated to maintain clarity and cleanliness. This change aims to clarify spa regulations by providing relief from certain licensing and operational requirements for older pool installations.
