Beta

This bill would change state construction rules to allow swimming pools to be built without a surrounding barrier, such as a fence, as long as the pool has an approved safety cover. Under current law, barriers are required, and this bill would create an alternative way to meet pool safety requirements. Who it may affect: homeowners and property developers who build or install swimming pools.
