Bill > H229

This bill proposes to exempt certain public and semipublic outdoor inground swimming pools, installed before January 1, 1998, from specific regulations that require a continuous four-foot wide walkway around the pool with an unobstructed clear distance and a curb at the edge. Additionally, these pools would be exempt from regulations mandating the continuous recirculation of the entire water supply to produce bubbles, and would instead 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 exemptions for older pools that may not meet current construction and operational standards.
