Senate Bill 2174, also known as House Bill 2090, amends Tennessee Code Annotated, Title 68, specifically regarding the definition of "public swimming pool." The bill revises the existing definition by deleting the previous subdivision and substituting it with a more detailed description. The new definition clarifies that a "public swimming pool" is a man-made structure used for bathing, swimming, or instructional purposes, and includes various types of pools and water attractions found in diverse settings such as camps, schools, and hotels.

Additionally, the bill specifies that certain privately owned, above-ground swimming pools are excluded from this definition. These exclusions apply to pools that are located indoors at fitness facilities, installed according to manufacturer instructions, have controlled access, maintain safe water quality, and are used solely for swimming instruction by facility staff and students. The bill aims to ensure clarity in the regulation of swimming pools while promoting safety and proper usage in public and private settings. The act will take effect upon becoming law.
