California AB1237 mandates safety features for swimming pools in condominium units and hotel rooms, including anti-entrapment devices and safety.

California AB1237 amends the Health and Safety Code to enhance safety for swimming pools in condominium units and hotel rooms. It requires these pools to be equipped with anti-entrapment devices, safety covers, and other drowning prevention features. The bill defines terms such as "unblockable suction outlet" and "public swimming pool," clarifying that private pools in residential settings are not subject to the same regulations as public pools. It also mandates that pools constructed after January 1, 2010, must have at least two suction outlets per pump and be hydraulically balanced.
