A 3499 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Concerns safety measures at apartment complex swimming pools.

This bill amends New Jersey law to expand exemptions for apartment complex swimming pools from certain safety requirements. Apartment complexes that restrict pool access to tenants and their invited guests are now exempt from mandatory lifeguard and first aid personnel rules. If they choose not to provide lifeguards, they must prominently display a 3x4 foot sign at the pool entrance stating: "No lifeguard on duty. Persons under the age of 16 must be accompanied by an adult. No swimming alone." The exemption applies only to apartment complexes meeting the defined access restrictions, directly affecting their operational requirements.
