Bill > HB2029

This bill amends West Virginia's plumbing licensing law to create a new exemption that allows individual plumbers licensed in another state to perform plumbing work in West Virginia without obtaining a separate individual state license, provided that two specific conditions are met: the plumber must be working under the direct supervision of their out-of-state employer, and that employer must already be licensed in West Virginia. The bill adds this exemption as a ninth category to the existing list of situations where plumbing work can be performed without an individual plumbing license, which currently includes scenarios like personal home maintenance, utility work, and industrial facility plumbing. By creating this provision, the bill aims to facilitate interstate plumbing work and reduce licensing barriers for businesses operating across state lines, while still maintaining oversight through the requirement of employer supervision and licensing.
