S 713 New Jersey Senate · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Concerns safety measures at apartment complex swimming pools.

This bill (S 713) expands an existing exemption for apartment complexes operating swimming pools. It allows apartment complexes that restrict pool access to tenants and their invited guests to be exempt from state requirements for lifeguards and first aid personnel. The exemption applies only if the complex posts a specific 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." This change modifies existing law (P.L.1991, c.135) to include apartment complexes under the definition of "specially exempt facility" for pool safety rules.
