Bill > HB1083

This bill establishes the Missouri Statewide Mechanical Contractors Licensing Act, which creates a statewide mechanical contractor license issued by the Division of Professional Registration. The bill sets forth the requirements for obtaining the statewide license, including passing a standardized mechanical assessment test and having a certain amount of verifiable field experience. It also prohibits political subdivisions from requiring additional licenses or examinations for the employees of a statewide licensed mechanical contractor and creates a Missouri Mechanical Contractor Licensing Fund to administer the program. The bill also outlines the division's authority to investigate, discipline, and enforce the new licensing requirements.
