STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
RS 11594
There is an ambiguity in current statute as to whether
swimming pools at lodging facilities and residential complexes
are “public swimming pools” subject to regulation by the Idaho
Department of Health and Welfare under Idaho Code 5 6—1003 (d)
The intent of this legislation is to clarify the definition of
“public swimming pool.”
FISCAL IMPACT
It is possible that this could result in savings to the
department.
