The bill amends Minnesota Statutes 2024, section 144.1222, subdivision 2d, to exempt certain hot tubs from public pool regulations. Specifically, it clarifies that hot water pools intended for seated recreational use, such as hot tubs or whirlpools, located on rental property are not classified as public pools. This exemption applies to hot tubs on the property of stand-alone single-unit rental properties that are rented by the owner or through a resort, provided they are only used by the occupants of that rental property.

Additionally, the bill introduces a requirement for a notice to be displayed to renters, informing them that the spa is exempt from state and local sanitary requirements aimed at preventing disease transmission. The notice emphasizes that the use of the hot tub is at the renter's own risk, ensuring that renters are aware of the potential health implications associated with using the hot tub.
