The bill establishes a new section, 509.243, in the Florida Statutes, which mandates that applicants or licensees seeking to obtain or renew a vacation rental license must install at least one pool safety feature if the property includes a swimming pool. This requirement aims to enhance safety measures for vacation rentals that have pools. Additionally, the bill grants the Department of Business and Professional Regulation the authority to suspend or revoke licenses and impose fines on licensees who fail to comply with this new regulation.

Furthermore, the bill allows the department to adopt rules necessary for the implementation of these provisions. The effective date for this act is set for July 1, 2026. Overall, the legislation seeks to improve safety standards in vacation rentals, particularly those with swimming pools, by enforcing compliance through potential penalties for noncompliance.
