AI Summary
This bill modifies Oklahoma's plumbing license laws by updating definitions, establishing new examination requirements, and clarifying license qualifications and renewal procedures. Key changes include defining a "residential journeyman plumber" who can work on one- or two-family dwellings, requiring a minimum score of seventy percent on plumbing examinations, and setting specific experience requirements for both journeyman and plumbing contractor licenses, such as three years of experience for journeymen and an additional year for contractors. The bill also clarifies that plumbing contractor licenses require the same qualifications as journeyman licenses plus an extra year of experience, and it outlines detailed experience and educational requirements for residential journeyman plumber applicants, including options for vocational training or military service. License renewal procedures are also adjusted, with licenses now expiring on the licensee's birthday and requiring proof of continuing education, and provisions are made for renewing licenses that expire while a holder is in military service.
