Health, Dept. of - As introduced, excludes from the definition of a public swimming pool subject to regulation in the same manner as a hotel or public swimming pool by the department of health any privately owned, controlled-access, above-ground swimming pool that is installed indoors at a fitness facility and used only by facility staff and students for the purpose of swimming instruction if the pool meets certain criteria. - Amends TCA Title 68.

SB 2174 amends Tennessee law to exclude specific indoor, above-ground swimming pools at fitness facilities from the definition of a "public swimming pool" requiring standard health regulations. It applies only to pools that are privately owned, installed indoors at fitness facilities, have controlled access (allowing only staff and students for instruction), meet water quality standards, and are used solely for swimming lessons - never for rentals, parties, or public use. This exempts these pools from regulations typically applied to hotels, public pools, or similar facilities. The change directly affects fitness facilities operating such pools, removing a layer of oversight for their instructional programs. The bill does not alter rules for other types of pools or public swimming areas.
