AI Summary

This bill directs the Division of Professional Licensure to amend the Uniform State Plumbing Code and associated regulations to include a category of agricultural buildings and operations, separate from regulations governing residential and commercial buildings. The bill requires the division to assemble an advisory committee to make recommendations for these amendments, with the goal of ensuring the safety and efficacy of plumbing in agricultural settings while avoiding unnecessary restrictions that could interfere with agricultural development. The board of examiners of plumbers and gas fitters will then review the advisory committee's recommendations and determine which, if any, amendments will be incorporated into the Uniform State Plumbing Code.
