The Glazier Licensing Standards and Certification Act of 2025 aims to establish licensing and certification requirements for glaziers and glazing contractors in the District of Columbia. This legislation addresses the current lack of licensing for glaziers, which is inconsistent with other skilled trades such as electricians and plumbers. By implementing these standards, the bill seeks to enhance safety, quality, and energy efficiency in glass and metal installation work, thereby protecting both workers and the public. The act also includes provisions for the Board of Industrial Trades to regulate glaziers and glazing contractors, ensuring compliance with national safety and performance standards.

Key provisions of the bill include the introduction of definitions for "glazier" and "glazing contractor," eligibility requirements for licensure, and the establishment of a temporary license in emergency situations. The bill also specifies that the fee for licensing will be set at $260 and outlines the process for rulemaking to implement these provisions. Additionally, the act mandates the appointment of glazier and glazing contractor representatives to the Board of Industrial Trades, thereby ensuring that the interests of these professionals are represented in regulatory matters. Overall, this legislation is designed to improve oversight and accountability within the glazing industry while supporting workforce development and sustainability goals in the District.
