Senate Bill 680 amends provisions of the Health and Safety Code relating to certain swimming pools as a public nuisance. The bill expands the means by which a swimming pool located on abandoned and unoccupied property must be secured to include a locked gate. The bill allows a county to abate the nuisance of an unsecured abandoned pool by prohibiting and controlling access to the pool and installing a cover over the entire swimming pool or draining and filling the swimming pool. The county, before conducting a hearing on the nuisance, may secure an abandoned pool.
