Bill > H4719

This bill creates a new type of construction supervisor license specifically for HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning) systems with less than 10-ton capacity, which is designed to support small businesses in the HVAC industry. The legislation amends Chapter 143 of the general laws to establish this new license category, which will allow licensed professionals to directly supervise HVAC installation, repair, and maintenance work on smaller systems. Additionally, the bill establishes a continuing education advisory council for construction supervisors, composed of representatives from various professional associations including the Home Builders Association of Massachusetts, the Air Conditioning Association of New England, and the National Association of the Remodeling Industry, along with building inspectors and a construction technology instructor. The council will help develop and recommend continuing education requirements for licensed construction supervisors. The new HVAC construction supervisor license will take effect within 12 months of the bill's passage, after the board establishes specific licensing requirements for this new category of professional license.
