AI Summary
This bill directs the Division of Professional Licensure to amend the Uniform State Plumbing Code and associated regulations to include a category for agricultural buildings and operations, separate from regulations governing residential and commercial buildings. The bill requires the division to assemble an advisory committee, including representatives from the Board of State Examiners of Plumbers and Gas Fitters, the Department of Agricultural Resources, the Department of Public Health, a municipal plumbing inspector, a public member, and a representative from the Massachusetts Farm Bureau Federation. The advisory committee is tasked with making recommendations to the Board to ensure the safety and efficacy of plumbing in agricultural buildings and on-farm processing operations, while avoiding unnecessary restrictions that could interfere with agricultural development. The Board is then required to review the advisory committee's recommendations and determine which amendments to incorporate into the Uniform State Plumbing Code.
