Cold Plunge Amendments

HB 368 exempts cold baths in apartment building common areas from health department regulations, while updating exemptions for other public cold baths (like those in gyms or spas). The bill defines "public cold bath" as a facility with chilled water under 60°F, limited to five users, and meeting specific safety standards. It prevents Utah's Department of Health and Human Services from imposing new rules on these facilities, removing regulatory requirements for operators. This directly affects apartment building managers and owners of public cold bath facilities by eliminating health department oversight. The law takes effect May 6, 2026.
