Bill Summary

Creates provisions relating to licensure reciprocity for plumbers

AI Summary

This bill establishes provisions for plumber's license reciprocity, meaning that a plumber's license issued by one political subdivision (like a city or county) within Missouri will be recognized by another political subdivision in the state, waiving its own separate licensing requirement. A "plumber's license" is defined as any credential allowing someone to legally do plumbing work after passing an approved test. This reciprocity applies if the plumber's original license was obtained by passing an examination approved by the division of professional registration within the department of commerce and insurance, and it will apply to licenses issued before August 28, 2026, as long as a test was required for that original license. While this bill allows plumbers to work in different political subdivisions without obtaining a new license from each, they will still need to acquire a business license where they intend to work. The provisions cover plumber's apprentices, journeyman plumbers, and master plumbers, but specifically exclude plumbing foremen.
