What’s in it

AI summary Small housing cooperatives with 25 or fewer homes could follow their own rules for swimming pools and spas instead of state health department rules. To do this, the cooperative's own bylaws must require outside inspections and take responsibility for any accidents. This change applies only to cooperatives that meet all these specific requirements.¹

Read the official explanation

This bill exempts a housing cooperative from the requirements of Code chapter 135I (swimming pools and spas) if the housing cooperative represents or fewer dwelling units; the cooperative’s bylaws apply to a rental agreement relative to any of the dwelling units; the cooperative’s bylaws include an exemption from Code chapter 135I requirements; the cooperative’s bylaws provide for inspection of the swimming pool or spa by an entity other than the department of health and human services or local board of health; and the cooperative’s bylaws assume any liability associated with operation of the swimming pool or spa.
