The bill amends section 489.105 of the Florida Statutes to revise the definitions of "commercial pool/spa contractor," "residential pool/spa contractor," and "swimming pool/spa servicing contractor." Key changes include expanding the scope of work for commercial pool/spa contractors to encompass all phases of construction, repair, renovation, remodeling, deconstruction, and servicing of various water features, including swimming pools, spas, splash pads, and decorative water features. The bill also clarifies that the scope of work for residential pool/spa contractors is similar to that of commercial contractors but excludes the construction of new commercial facilities.

Additionally, the bill specifies that the scope of work for swimming pool/spa servicing contractors includes all aspects of repair and servicing of swimming pools and related features. It introduces new provisions regarding the installation and repair of electrical components and equipment associated with these water features. The bill removes certain restrictions on the types of work that require licensure, particularly concerning water treatment and cleaning, while maintaining that direct connections to sanitary sewer systems or potable water lines still require licensure. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2025.
