Bill > SB1670

This bill establishes that the state, not individual municipalities or counties, has primary authority over the licensure of individuals in certain trades, specifically those covered under Title 32, Chapter 10 of Arizona Revised Statutes, which generally pertains to contractors and related professions. This means that cities and counties cannot impose additional licensing requirements beyond what the state mandates for these occupations, although they can still require individuals in plumbing, pipe fitting, mechanical trades, HVAC installation, and electrical or alarm system trades to be licensed and can issue a "journeyman license," which is defined as any training, education, test, certification, registration, or license required to perform an occupation. The bill aims to standardize and simplify the licensing process for these trades across the state by preempting local regulations.
