§ 48 - CONTINUING EDUCATION FOR PLUMBERS
This bill exempts plumbers who have served apprenticeships that
included at
least 700 hours of related classroom instruction from continuing
education
requirements. By law, the Department of Consumer Protection
commissioner
must adopt regulations to establish requirements for accredited
continuing
professional education for plumbers. They require plumbers to take at
least
three and as much as nine hours of continuing education per year,
depending
on the type of license the plumber holds.
EFFECTIVE DATE: Upon passage

deal of work to do.
HAVE A SAFE AND HAPPY 4'TH OF JULY
