The bill amends the Skilled Trades Regulation Act by introducing new classifications for boiler repairer licenses and establishing specific requirements for each classification. It adds sections 928, 928a, and 928b, which outline five classes of boiler repairer licenses (Class I, Class III, Class IV, Class V, and Class P) and detail the qualifications necessary for obtaining these licenses. For instance, a Class V license requires evidence of knowledge of federal regulations related to nuclear boilers and employment by a company with a valid ASME N-type symbol stamp. Additionally, the bill allows the department to consolidate licenses to reduce the total number issued.

Furthermore, the bill modifies section 941, which pertains to the permit requirements for boiler repairs. It specifies that individuals must be licensed under the new section 928a to obtain a repair permit and clarifies that individuals performing work requiring a permit must either be licensed or work under the supervision of a licensed individual. The bill also removes references to the "boiler division of the department" in certain contexts, streamlining the language regarding permit applications and fees. Overall, the amendments aim to enhance the regulatory framework for boiler repairers in Michigan.
