HB 5800

Amends the Swimming Facility Act. Prohibits the Department of Public Health from requiring a person seeking to perform construction, installation, or major alteration of a swimming facility to be prequalified more than once every 2 years. Provides that a person seeking to perform construction, installation, or major alteration of a swimming facility is not required to prequalify with the Department of Public Health before performing the construction, installation, or major alteration of a swimming facility if the person is registered and in good standing with the Secretary of State, is certified as a Certified Builder Professional by the Pool and Hot Tub Alliance or holds an equivalent credential as determined by the Department of Public Health, and ensures all trade-specific work is performed by individuals licensed under applicable State law. Provides that the Department of Public Health may require evidence of such credentials to be submitted before issuing a permit for construction or major alteration. Grants the Department of Public Health rulemaking authority to implement the prequalification exemption.
