Minnesota Department of Health Announces the Notice Of Intent To Adopt Rules Without A Public Hearing, Minnesota Pool Code, Minnesota Rules 4717.0150 – 4717.3975; Revisor’s ID Number 4442; OAH Docket Number 8-9000-36064
Minnesota Department of Health (MDH) is amending Minnesota Rules, 4717.0150 – 4717.3975. Some of these changes will simplify the pool and spa plan review process for licensees. Other changes are intended to increase the level of public health protection by preventing potential accidents or minimizing unnecessary chemical exposures that may have an adverse effect on pool and spa users. These rule changes will make understanding Code requirements easier for the vast majority of licensees. We are maintaining the same or a stricter level of public health protection as established by the current Code.
Pool licensees (also referred to as “owners” or “operators”), pool designers and builders, pool users and local governments may be affected by any amendments.
