Bill > HB3462

This bill modifies Oklahoma's Plumbing License Law by updating definitions for various plumbing roles, including distinguishing between "residential" and "unlimited" journeyman plumbers and plumbing contractors, and clarifying the scope of work for each. It also establishes specific educational and experience requirements for individuals seeking to take the licensing examinations for these different plumbing license types, such as requiring a certain number of years of experience or completion of approved educational programs. Additionally, the bill adjusts the duration of certain plumbing licenses, allowing unlimited journeyman plumber and residential journeyman plumber licenses to be issued for three years instead of the previous one-year term, and mandates alignment with continuing education requirements for license renewal. The bill also specifies that examinations will be practical and strict enough to test an applicant's qualifications, and it sets waiting periods for retaking examinations if an applicant fails. Finally, this act is set to become effective on November 1, 2026.
