Buildings and safety
This bill increases the maximum amount that the Department of Commerce (Commerce) can establish by rule for licenses and registrations that Commerce issues to plumbers, utility contractors, pipelayers, and contractors installing or maintaining automatic fire sprinklers. Current law defines a "utility contractor" to be one who is skilled in installing piping that transports, rainwater, sewage, or other liquid wastes.
This bill doubles the maximum amounts for each of these licenses and registrations. The bill also doubles the maximum term for these licenses and registrations, as well as the term for plumbing supervisors that Commerce employs.
For further information see the state fiscal estimate, which will be printed as an appendix to this bill.
