IN RE:	HB1758 by Thompson (Relating to the requirements for a plumber's apprentice to obtain a plumber's license.), As Introduced

No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.

The bill would amend the Occupations Code to add requirements for applicants to obtain a plumbing tradesman or journeyman license to include the completion of classroom training hours.  The bill would require that the instructor and training program be approved by the Board of Plumbing Examiners. 

 

Based on the analysis of the Board of Plumbing Examiners, duties and responsibilities associated with implementing the provisions of the bill could be accomplished by utilizing existing resources.
