Bill No. 112, introduced by Senators Bullard and Hays, amends various sections of the Plumbing License Law of 1955 to update definitions, examination requirements, and license durations for plumbing professionals in Oklahoma. Key changes include the introduction of the "Oklahoma State Committee of Plumbing Examiners" and the "Oklahoma State Plumbing Installation Code Variance and Appeals Board." The bill also establishes specific qualifications for different types of plumbing examinations, such as residential and unlimited journeyman plumber licenses, and outlines the necessary experience and educational requirements for applicants.
Additionally, the bill modifies the duration of licenses, allowing unlimited journeyman plumber and residential journeyman plumber licenses to be issued for three years, while all other licenses will expire annually on the last day of the licensee's birth month. It mandates that licenses can only be renewed if the licensee has completed the required continuing education hours as determined by the Oklahoma State Committee of Plumbing Examiners. The act is set to take effect on November 1, 2025.
