Bill > SB80

This bill establishes the Missouri Statewide Mechanical Contractors Licensing Act, which creates a statewide licensing system for mechanical contractors, journeymen, and apprentices. The bill defines "mechanical work" and exempts certain work from the new licensing requirements. It directs the Division of Professional Registration to adopt rules and administer the licensing program, including setting training, education, and experience requirements, fees, and disciplinary procedures. The bill also creates the Missouri Mechanical Contractor Licensing Fund to support the program and allows political subdivisions to maintain their own mechanical licensing requirements, while requiring them to recognize the new statewide licenses.
