Concerning water recreation facilities at short-term rentals.
HB 2465 requires Washington's Department of Natural Resources to create a public safety guide for water recreation facilities (like pools or spas at rentals). This guide must be posted online by local governments issuing short-term rental licenses and displayed prominently at rental properties with such facilities. The bill directly affects short-term rental hosts and local licensing authorities, mandating specific safety information access. It focuses on transparency and safety awareness without altering existing facility standards or imposing new fees.
