The bill amends Florida Statutes sections 515.27 and 515.29 to establish new safety requirements for residential swimming pools that are transferred or sold on or after October 1, 2025. It mandates that such pools must be equipped with at least one safety feature, as outlined in the bill, and that the pool barriers must meet specific requirements to ensure child safety. Additionally, it requires title companies, inspectors, or mortgage underwriters to report any violations of these safety standards to local law enforcement agencies.

Furthermore, the bill modifies section 515.31 to enhance the drowning prevention education program, which is to be made available to the public and is required for individuals who violate the pool safety requirements. The program may charge a fee for attendance and will be funded through various sources, including state funds and grants. The effective date for the implementation of these changes is set for July 1, 2025.
