Bill > H2002

This bill aims to increase the experience and background necessary to operate low-pressure processed steam boilers. The key provisions are as follows: 1. It requires that a facility with a low-pressure processed steam boiler (with a pressure below 15 pounds per square inch) involved in the process, production, and manufacturing of a product, commodity, or chemical, must be operated and maintained by a duly licensed first-class fireman or the holder of a special license under Section 49. 2. It authorizes the Department of Public Safety to promulgate rules and regulations to establish the standards for the licensure and professional and ethical conduct of engineers and firemen, including the maintenance and operation of boilers, as well as grounds for the suspension or revocation of such licenses. This bill is intended to enhance consumer protection and ensure that individuals operating low-pressure processed steam boilers have the appropriate experience and qualifications to do so safely.
