Bill Summary
The purpose of this bill is to require the Commissioner of Labor to propose separate rules for plumbers who work in a residential dwelling or in a commercial building or facility.
AI Summary
This bill requires the Commissioner of Labor to create separate rules for plumbers who work in residential dwellings versus those who work in commercial buildings or facilities, specifically by adding language to the existing law that mandates these distinct regulations within the rule-making authority section. This change aims to ensure that licensing and qualification standards are tailored to the different types of plumbing work encountered in homes compared to larger commercial or institutional settings, as plumbing itself is defined as the installation and alteration of piping and fixtures for various systems within buildings.
