Enrolled Bill Summary

Senate Bill 416 amends the Health and Safety Code to replace the requirement that a member of the Board of Boiler Rules be a mechanical engineer or engineering professor with a requirement that a member represent organizations that repair or alter boilers. The bill increases the permissible extension of the interval between internal inspections from 48 to 60 months for a power boiler and from 84 to 120 months for steam collection or liberation drums of process steam generators. The bill clarifies that a further emergency extension may be granted and prohibits the granting of more than one such extension per interval between internal inspections.
