Relative to exempting home appliance service and repair technicians from certain provisions of the Massachusetts Plumbing Code

AI Summary

This bill amends Chapter 142 of the Massachusetts General Laws to create a new section that exempts certified home appliance service technicians from certain provisions of the Massachusetts Plumbing Code, specifically allowing them to make plumbing connections or disconnections when repairing or replacing appliances. The Division of Professional Licensure will be responsible for establishing rules and regulations for the licensure and certification of these technicians. However, this exemption will not apply to the installation of entirely new appliances where none existed before, work involving natural gas lines, or repairs that require upgrading existing plumbing or wiring.
