This bill amends Florida Statutes to enhance safety requirements for residential swimming pools, particularly for properties that are transferred or sold on or after October 1, 2025. It mandates that all residential swimming pools must be equipped with at least one safety feature, such as a pool barrier, safety cover, exit alarms, or pool alarms that meet specific standards. Additionally, it requires that violations of these safety requirements be reported to local law enforcement by title companies, inspectors, or mortgage underwriters.

The bill also introduces new pool barrier requirements, ensuring that barriers are at least four feet high and designed to prevent young children from accessing the pool area. Furthermore, it amends the drowning prevention education program to ensure it is publicly available and outlines the funding mechanisms for the program. The effective date for these changes is set for July 1, 2025.
