An Act relative to the licensure of swimming pool builders and service contractors

This bill requires swimming pool builders and service contractors in Massachusetts to obtain specific licenses from the Board of Building Regulations and Standards. It mandates that the board create rules defining the scope of work for construction and maintenance licenses, along with requirements for experience, training, and exams based on industry standards. Individuals caught working without a license or after their license expires face fines ranging from $1,000 for a first offense up to $3,000 for later violations. The regulations must be finalized and in effect by January 1, 2024, and the board is authorized to set initial and renewal fees.
