Bill > SB43

This bill amends the Delaware Code to establish standardized statewide licensing for plumbing and HVACR (Heating, Ventilation, Air Conditioning, and Refrigeration) professionals by introducing two new defined license types: the State Plumbing License and the State HVACR License. The bill mandates that these licenses, when issued by the Board of Plumbing, Heating, Ventilation, Air Conditioning, and Refrigeration Examiners, must be recognized by all counties, cities, and municipalities in Delaware without additional local requirements or restrictions. The legislation also maintains existing penalty structures for license violations, with fines ranging from $1,500 to $3,000 for first offenses and $3,000 to $6,000 for subsequent offenses, with jurisdiction for these violations assigned to the Justice of the Peace Court. By establishing these uniform licensing standards, the bill aims to create consistency in professional licensing across the state and simplify the process for tradespeople working in different jurisdictions within Delaware.
