The bill amends the Skilled Trades Regulation Act by updating Section 907, which pertains to the regulation of boiler construction, installation, inspection, alteration, servicing, operation, and repair in Michigan. It mandates that the department, in consultation with the board, shall create rules for these activities and allows for the adoption of existing national standards. A significant addition is the provision that permits a class 5B boiler installer or a class IV boiler repairer to conduct periodic maintenance and testing of controls and safety devices of a boiler system.

Additionally, the bill clarifies the registration process for applicants who are licensed or registered as boiler operators or stationary engineers in other states or municipalities with equivalent requirements. It introduces definitions for "class 5B boiler installer" and "class IV boiler repairer," specifying the necessary licenses as outlined in the Michigan Administrative Code. Overall, the amendments aim to enhance safety regulations while providing clearer guidelines for professionals in the boiler industry.
