| Current law subjects public swimming pools to government inspection and licensing requirements. Private pools are not subject to the same requirements. In 2000, however, 88 counties were grandfathered in to have their Boards of Health continue to regulate pool issues such as fences, chemical levels, suction drains, etc., on private pools (apartment, subdivision, county club and other like pools). The current version of this bill allows condominiums, with pools that are for 75 persons or less, to opt out of state inspections, but requires inspection with a private inspector certified by the Department of Public Health. Counties retain the ability to assess a fee for the cost of providing inspections. All local ordinances in place remain in force. |
