Speaking with One Voice

The Northeast Pool & Spa Association is your voice on legislation and regulations impacting our industry. NESPA GRAC monitors legislative action across the region and represents the pool and spa industry when these important actions are being debated.

 


 

 

NESPA's Government Relations Action Committee (GRAC) brings together dedicated member volunteers and lobbyists on behalf of our members to oppose onerous over-regulation and advocate for our industry. We have important relationships with Federal, State and local officials and are in regular contact to share our industry’s perspective on legislation. 

The Government Relations Action Committee consists of representatives from each of our four chapters.  If you have questions about legislation and government regulations contact NESPA at 609-689-9111.

NESPA:  New Depths

S2| Episode 5: Shedding Light on the New VGB Updates

In this explosive episode, Dom is joined by Steve Barnes – Director of Science and Compliance for AquaStar Pool Products. You probably know Steve from his years teaching at the Pool & Spa Show, but did you know he spent 30 years as a pyrotechnician – creating and executing full-scale firework displays. Steve is a 38-year veteran of the pool & spa industry, chairs the PHTA Technical Committee, ANSI/APSP-16, the Federal VGB Pool & Spa Safety Act drain cover standard, and ANSI/APSP/ICC-15 Standard for Residential Swimming Pool Energy Efficiency.

Steve not only walks us through the May 2021 updates to the VGB Act but brings us back to where this all started in 2007 and the chaos created by the initial implementation being retroactive. Learn more about what the new changes mean for your business and how you can stay in compliance with federal regulations.
