Bill Summary

Relative to licensing of swimming pool construction and installation work and swimming pool maintenance and repair work. Consumer Protection and Professional Licensure.

AI Summary

This bill proposes to establish a licensing system for swimming pool construction, installation, maintenance, service, and repair work in Massachusetts. The bill defines key terms, such as "license," "swimming pool," "swimming pool builder," and "swimming pool maintenance, service and repair technician." It requires individuals engaged in these activities to obtain a license from the Division of Professional Licensure, which will also be responsible for developing regulations and overseeing the enforcement of the licensing requirements. The bill provides a grace period for individuals already actively engaged in these activities to apply for a license without examination, and it outlines penalties for individuals who engage in such work without a license. The bill also specifies that licensed individuals are not permitted to perform electrical, plumbing, or heating work unless they hold the appropriate licenses for those trades.
