This bill would change the rules for how certain swimming pools are classified under state law. Specifically, pools located on the same property as a single-family home would no longer be regulated as public pools when the homeowner rents out the property to guests. This means those pools would not have to meet the same safety and inspection requirements that apply to public pools. Who it may affect: homeowners who rent their property to guests, and guests who use pools at short-term rental properties.
