Bill > H2639

This bill amends Section 53 of Chapter 146 of the Massachusetts General Laws by limiting the Massachusetts Commissioner of Public Safety's authority to require classroom credit for hoisting license renewal. Specifically, the bill restricts the commissioner from mandating more than two hours of classroom credit every four years for renewing a hoisting license, regardless of any existing general or special laws that might previously have allowed for more extensive continuing education requirements. A hoisting license is a professional certification required for operators of cranes, hoists, and other heavy lifting equipment, and this bill appears aimed at reducing the administrative burden on license holders by capping the amount of mandatory continuing education training they must complete to maintain their professional credentials.
