This chapter applies to all spray pads, swimming pools, and spas owned or operated by local or state government, or commercial interests or private entities including but not limited to facilities operated by cities, counties, public or private school corporations, hotels, motels, camps, apartments, condominiums, and health or country clubs. This chapter does not apply to facilities intended for single family use or to a spray pad, swimming pool, or spa operated by a homeowners’ association or housing cooperative representing seventy-two or fewer dwelling units if the bylaws of the association or cooperative, which also apply to a rental agreement relative to any of the dwelling units, include an exemption from the requirements of this chapter, provide for inspection of the spray pad, swimming pool, or spa by an entity other than the department or local board of health, and assume any liability associated with operation of the spray pad, swimming pool, or spa. This chapter does not apply to a spray pad, swimming pool, or spa used exclusively for therapy under the direct supervision of qualified medical personnel. To avoid duplication and promote coordination of inspection activities, the department may enter into written agreements with a local board of health to provide for inspection and enforcement in accordance with this chapter. 89 Acts, ch 291, §2; 92 Acts, ch 1194, §2; 92 Acts, ch 1237, §8; 96 Acts, ch 1097, §1; 2001 Acts, ch 58, §6; 2008 Acts, ch 1058, §5; 2023 Acts, ch 57, §2, 7
