The Texas legislature has passed HB 2858, which sets a model code for the construction of pools and spas in the state and allows municipalities to adopt and amend the the ICC Pool and Spa Code in the state to require model standards for building, remodeling and repairing pools and spas. The legislature adopted the International Swimming Pool and Spa Code (ISPSC), which was developed by the International Code Council in partnership with the Pool and Hot Tub Alliance (formerly the Association of Pool and Spa Professionals and the National Swimming Pool Foundation). It is the only model code that addresses design and building requirements for public and residential pools and spas, including safety barriers, sanitation, ladders/steps, depth markers and energy efficiency. This will be a benefit to the construction industry and will better normalize standards for construction and safety.
