The Glazier Licensing Standards and Certification Amendment Act of 2026 aims to establish licensing standards and certification requirements for glaziers and glazing contractors in the District of Columbia. The bill amends Chapter 28 of Title 47 of the District of Columbia Official Code by introducing a new part, F-ii, which includes definitions, eligibility requirements, and provisions for temporary licenses. It specifies that the Board of Industrial Trades will regulate and license these professionals to ensure compliance with national safety and performance standards. Additionally, the bill outlines the criteria for obtaining a license as a glazier or glazing contractor, including the necessity for applicants to employ licensed glaziers and meet bonding and insurance requirements.

Furthermore, the bill expands the Board of Industrial Trades by adding two new members: one licensed glazier and one licensed glazing contractor, increasing the total membership from 15 to 17. It also prohibits unlicensed individuals from using terms that imply they are licensed to perform glazing services. The Mayor is tasked with issuing rules to implement these provisions within one year of the act's effective date, contingent upon the appointment of the new board members. The act will take effect following approval by the Mayor and a 30-day congressional review period.
