Swimming Pool Safety Act

The Swimming Pool Safety Act governs access to swimming pools by people with disabilities, barring any person from prohibiting the use of a life jacket by an individual whose physical disability or condition makes one necessary, as certified by a signed statement from a licensed physician. Liability reaches both those who establish a policy conflicting with the act and those who act against an otherwise compliant policy. Violations are treated as a minor offense carrying a fine assessed for each occurrence.
