This bill amends several sections of South Dakota law regarding the licensing and inspection fees for plumbers and related professions. It allows the commission to establish various fees, including initial application fees, examination fees, and license renewal fees, with specific maximum limits set for each type of fee. For instance, the initial application fee cannot exceed sixty dollars, while the license renewal fee is capped at three hundred dollars. Additionally, the bill outlines the fees associated with plumbing inspection, including a plumbing permit fee and a plumbing installation certificate fee, with maximum limits set for different types of dwellings.

Furthermore, the bill clarifies the registration process for nonresident applicants who are already licensed in other states, allowing them to register without examination if their state's regulations are deemed equivalent to South Dakota's. It also introduces a definition for "underground irrigation" as it pertains to nonagricultural landscape irrigation systems. Overall, the amendments aim to streamline the fee structure and clarify the regulations surrounding plumbing licenses and inspections in South Dakota.
