SF1630

This bill seeks to amend Minnesota Statutes section 144.1222, subdivision 2d, by exempting certain hot tubs and whirlpools from public pool regulations. Specifically, it states that hot water pools intended for seated recreational use, including hot tubs and whirlpools, located on rental houseboats or standalone single-unit rental properties (whether rented directly by the owner or through a resort) will not be classified as public pools and will therefore be exempt from public pool requirements under Minnesota law and administrative rules.

The bill also requires that these exempted hot tubs display a conspicuously posted notice informing renters that the spa is not subject to state and local sanitary regulations designed to prevent disease transmission and must include a "USE AT YOUR OWN RISK" warning.
