Bill Summary

Establishes the Missouri Statewide Mechanical Contractors Licensing Act

AI Summary

This bill establishes the Missouri Statewide Mechanical Contractors Licensing Act, which creates a comprehensive licensing system for mechanical work professionals across the state. The bill defines "mechanical work" broadly, including installation, maintenance, and repair of HVAC systems, refrigeration systems, fuel piping, boilers, and various other mechanical and technical systems. It introduces three main types of licenses: statewide mechanical contractor, journeyman, and apprentice licenses, each with specific educational and training requirements. The legislation requires businesses performing mechanical work to have at least one licensed contractor or journeyman supervising the work, and it allows political subdivisions to maintain their local licensing requirements while mandating that they recognize the new statewide licenses. The bill establishes a Missouri Mechanical Contractor Licensing Fund to support the administration of the licensing program and provides mechanisms for license renewal, disciplinary actions, and enforcement. Political subdivisions are prohibited from refusing to recognize the statewide licenses, with potential financial penalties for non-compliance. Violations of the act can result in misdemeanor charges, and the Division of Professional Registration is empowered to investigate complaints, suspend or revoke licenses, and ensure compliance with the new licensing standards.
