FSPA Preliminary Final Legislative Report
FSPAFinal Legislative Report
Pool & Spa Safety Act Enacted Into Law
CLICK HERE FOR MORE INFORMATION AND DOCUMENTS
The Florida Swimming Pool Association (FSPA) is pleased to announce, along
with the Association of Pool and Spa Professionals (APSP), the passage
of the “Virginia Graeme Baker Pool and Spa Safety Act.” This
act, passed earlier in 2007 by the Senate Commerce Committee, was incorporated
as Title IV of the omnibus energy bill approved by the Congress and signed
by the President on December 19, 2007. The House of Representatives in
July passed a slightly different version of the bill, but it is the Senate
version that has now been enacted, with the full support of APSP and FSPA.
Passage of this legislation is the culmination of a lengthy, intensive
effort by both Houses of Congress to promote child safety in and around
pools, spas and hot tubs.
Laws and Rules Continuing Education
House Bill 7163 (2007 Legislative Session) revised the continuing
education requirements for certified and registered contractors licensed
by the Florida Construction Industry Licensing Board. All certified and
registered contractors must now complete one hour of laws and rules-related
continuing education as part of the 14 hours that is currently required
during each licensure cycle.
Enforcement of the new one hour requirement will begin with the expiration
of certified licenses on August 31, 2008.
