Bill Summary

Relative to insurance requirements for plumbing work on single family homes. Consumer Protection and Professional Licensure.

AI Summary

This bill amends Section 21A of Chapter 142, which deals with insurance requirements for plumbing work, specifically for single-family homes. Currently, there's an insurance requirement for such work, but this bill proposes to allow plumbing and gas inspectors to accept the homeowner's signature on a permit application instead of requiring insurance. This change applies only if the homeowner is the individual listed on the property deed, the property is their primary residence, and it is a single-family home. This aims to simplify the process for homeowners undertaking plumbing or gas work on their own primary residence.
