Amends existing law to revise provisions regarding exemptions from a vehicle inspection and maintenance program.
All passenger and light truck motor vehicles from 2007 forward are equipped with an onboard diagnostic computer system that checks vehicle emissions and other critical parameters of vehicle operations. The emissions testing application of the onboard computer uses the same ISO standards that emissions testing machines now use for testing in both Ada and Canyon counties. Data shows that emissions testing failures have been significantly reduced on vehicles model year 2007 forward. This bill amends Idaho Code § 39-116B to change the exemption from testing from vehicles that are 5 years old to vehicles of model year 2007 and newer.
Amends existing law to revise certain exceptions for a certificate of competency requirement.
Section 54-5002, Idaho Code, in relevant part, provides exemptions from HVAC licensure for homeowners (54-5002(4)) and certain maintenance HVAC work (54-5002(1)). The exceptions currently allow property owners of a single or duplex family dwelling to perform HVAC work and allow employers to perform alterations, extensions and new construction on the premises of their place of employment using regularly employed maintenance workers without a certificate of competency (license). The HVAC Board and HVAC industry feel the statute should more clearly indicate that a homeowner should be allowed to perform HVAC work on the owner's primary or secondary residence, accessory buildings, quarters and grounds used for non-commercial purposes. They also feel that in places of employment in commercial buildings, maintenance personnel should be allowed to perform repair and replacements of HVAC equipment, but any alterations, extensions or new construction must be done by a licensed HVAC contractor. These statute changes more clearly define the scope of work in both instances.

The Professional Standards Commission has recommended adding pupil service staff endorsements for OTs and PTs. However, without this legislation, all newly-certificated OTs and PTs would be placed on the first rung of the career ladder, regardless of years of service in Idaho's schools.
