During the 2008 legislative session legislators passed and Governor Blunt signed House Bill 1341 relating to “for-profit privately owned” swimming pools or facilities. The law became effective June 6, 2008, which requires such locations to maintain a minimum amount of liability insurance coverage and to be registered with the Missouri Division of Fire Safety.

Missouri State Law section 316.250 requires:
           “Every owner of a for-profit private swimming pool or facility shall maintain adequate insurance coverage in an amount of not less than one million dollars per occurrence for any liability incurred in the event of injury or death of a patron to such swimming pool or facility, including any liability incurred under paragraph (b) of subdivision (3) of section 537.348, RSMo. Such owners shall be required to register with the Department of Public Safety and provide proof of such insurance coverage at the time of registration and when requested by any state or local governmental agency responsible for the enforcement of this section.”
