HF1557

This bill proposes an amendment to Minnesota Statutes section 144.1222, subdivision 2d, to exempt certain hot tubs from public pool regulations. Specifically, the bill states that hot tubs or whirlpools located on rental houseboats or standalone single-unit rental properties are not considered public pools and are therefore exempt from Minnesota's public pool requirements. However, the bill mandates that such hot tubs must have a posted notice informing renters that the spa is not subject to state and local sanitary regulations designed to prevent disease transmission and that users assume any associated risks.
