AI Summary

This bill, by amending Section 1 of Chapter 142 of the General Laws, aims to further define what constitutes "gas fitting" within the scope of plumbing regulations. The proposed changes clarify that gas fitting encompasses all work related to installing, altering, and replacing piping systems that carry radon gas or fuel gas, such as methane, for various purposes like heating, refrigeration, or illumination. This definition now explicitly includes connecting and testing gas fixtures, appliances like ranges, refrigerators, and stoves, as well as water heaters and house heating boilers, and maintaining these systems in good working order, including making necessary repairs.
