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 residential and commercial buildings. It establishes an advisory committee, consisting of representatives from the plumbing industry, public health, and the agriculture community, to provide recommendations to the Board of Examiners of Plumbers and Gas Fitters within 12 months. The board then has 6 months to review the recommendations and determine which amendments to incorporate into the Plumbing Code, with the goal of ensuring the safety and efficacy of plumbing in agricultural settings while avoiding unnecessary restrictions on agricultural development.
