Amends existing law to revise the registration period and registration fee for an HVAC apprentice.
Consistent with the Governor's Licensing Freedom Act, this bill seeks to eliminate barriers to licensure. Specifically, the Idaho Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) Board is proposing a rule to allow an HVAC apprentice to renew registration and continue working as an apprentice by showing completion of eight (8) hours of continuing education for each year of the prior registration period instead of showing enrollment in or successful completion of schooling. This legislation changes the apprentice registration period from five (5) years to one (1) year and the fee from fifty dollars ($50) to ten dollars ($10). Changing the registration period from five (5) years to one (1) year will make tracking continuing education easier for the apprentice and the Division of Building Safety.
