Bill > SB1349

This bill creates a prohibition on licensing requirements for industrial mechanical maintenance workers employed directly by manufacturing establishments. Specifically, the bill defines several key terms, including "contractor" as an employee performing industrial mechanical maintenance work, "industrial facility" as a property used for manufacturing activities, and "industrial mechanical maintenance work" as maintenance of mechanical systems within such a facility. The core provision prevents both local (city or county) and state licensing authorities from requiring contractors performing maintenance work within their own industrial facility to obtain any special licenses. The bill applies to workers employed by manufacturing companies who are maintaining mechanical systems and equipment at their own industrial sites, effectively exempting these internal maintenance workers from local and state licensing requirements. This legislation aims to reduce regulatory barriers for companies performing maintenance work within their own industrial facilities by eliminating the need for workers to obtain additional licenses beyond their existing employment qualifications.
