Bill > HB4897

This bill amends the Skilled Trades Regulation Act to establish a comprehensive licensing system for boiler installers, creating five distinct license classifications (Class 2B, 3B, 4B, 5B, and Class P) with specific scopes of work for each. The bill requires the department to establish licensing requirements through administrative rules and details the precise installation capabilities for each license type. For Class 2B, installers can work on low-pressure boilers and power boilers up to 5,000 pounds of steam per hour; Class 3B allows work on power boilers up to 300,000 pounds of steam per hour; Class 4B permits installation of power boilers of almost any capacity except nuclear heat source boilers; Class 5B is specialized for nuclear heat source boiler installations; and Class P is limited to external piping installation and repair. The bill also modifies existing permit requirements, specifying that individuals must be licensed under the new section to obtain boiler installation permits and that unlicensed individuals can only perform such work under the immediate supervision of a licensed professional. These changes aim to create a more structured and regulated approach to boiler installer qualifications and work permissions.
