Amends existing law to clarify that all plumbing contractors shall be qualified journeymen.
Idaho Code section 54-2611(a) states, "A contractor who in person does plumbing work shall also be qualified as a journeyman plumber, or have in his employ on all work a qualified journeyman." IDAPA 07.02.05.013.01 requires an applicant for a plumbing contractor's license to "possess an active journeyman plumbing certificate of competency issued by the Division [and] a provable minimum of two and one-half (2 1/2) years' experience as a licensed journeyman plumber in the state of Idaho." This legislative proposal will require and clarify that all plumbing contractors must be qualified journeymen. Requiring all plumbing contractors to be qualified journeymen will ensure plumbing contractors are qualified in technical aspects of the trade and increase the quality of plumbing work.
