Bill > H3213

This bill establishes a statewide licensing system for individuals and businesses performing septic system installation or repair, overseen by the Division of Professional Licensure. This means that anyone wanting to install or fix septic systems, which are individual sewage disposal systems for homes not connected to public sewers, must obtain a license from the state. The bill outlines the requirements for obtaining and renewing these licenses, including demonstrating knowledge and skill through examinations, having relevant work experience, and completing training. It also specifies that businesses must designate a licensed individual responsible for their work, and that local officials can only issue permits if the applicant presents a valid state license. The bill also details grounds for license suspension or revocation, such as fraud or failure to comply with regulations, and sets penalties for performing this work without a license.
