The bill amends the Skilled Trades Regulation Act by introducing new classifications for boiler installer licenses, specifically adding Class 5B and Class P licenses. It establishes the requirements for obtaining these licenses, which include meeting specific criteria set by the director and the department through promulgated rules. The classifications allow for varying levels of work, such as installing low-pressure boilers, power boilers of different capacities, and nonboiler external piping, with the Class 5B license permitting work on boilers utilizing nuclear heat sources.
Additionally, the bill modifies the permit requirements for installing or altering a boiler. It specifies that individuals must be licensed under the new section 926a to be eligible for a permit and clarifies that work requiring a permit cannot be performed unless the individual is licensed or is under the immediate supervision of a licensed individual. The language also updates the terminology from "he or she" to "the individual" for inclusivity.
