HB 687 North Carolina House · 2025-2026 Session

Clarify Laws Regulating Public Swimming Pools.

HB 687 clarifies North Carolina's public swimming pool regulations by exempting safety-certified floatation or sensory deprivation systems from standard pool requirements. Specifically, it excludes systems certified by the National Sanitation Foundation (NSF) to meet NSF Standard 50, directly affecting operators of such facilities (e.g., floatation tanks in wellness centers). The bill does not create new safety rules but explicitly states these certified systems are not subject to the state's public pool regulations. This change aligns with existing exemptions for therapeutic pools and private family pools under defined conditions. The exemption takes effect July 1, 2025.
