The bill amends Minnesota Statutes 2024, section 144.1222, subdivision 2d, to establish specific requirements for the use of hot water pools on certain rental properties. It clarifies that hot tubs on rental properties, specifically stand-alone, single-unit rentals, must adhere to certain conditions, including maintaining a water temperature not exceeding 106 degrees Fahrenheit, testing water quality before each new rental party, and providing renters with a notice regarding the hot water pool's status and its exemption from some public pool regulations.

Additionally, the bill introduces provisions for hot water pools located on houseboats rented to the public, stating that these pools are not classified as public pools and are exempt from public pool requirements. It also prohibits local governments from enacting laws that would impose additional restrictions on these hot water pools. A notice must be provided to renters, indicating that the spa is exempt from certain regulations and that they use it at their own risk.
