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 located on stand-alone, single-unit rental properties must adhere to certain conditions, including maintaining a water temperature not exceeding 106 degrees Fahrenheit, testing the water for chlorine or bromine concentration, pH, and alkalinity before each new rental party checks in, and providing renters with a notice regarding the hot water pool's status and its exemption from some public pool regulations.

Additionally, the bill specifies that hot water pools intended for seated recreational use on rental houseboats are not classified as public pools and are exempt from public pool requirements. It prohibits local governments from enacting laws that would impose additional restrictions on these hot water pools. The bill also includes a notice requirement for renters, informing them of the exemption and associated risks of using the hot water pool.
