BILL NUMBER: S1971 TITLE OF BILL : An act to amend the general business law, in relation to establishing voluntary licensing of master plumbers PURPOSE : Enactment of this legislation would supersede the licensure of master plumbers by municipalities in New York State. SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS : Section 1 of the general business law is amended by adding a new article 28-E implementing the licensing of master plumbers. Section 490 would delineate the definitions used under this statute. Section 491 authorizes the issuance of a license for master plumbers which would permit such individual to practice anywhere within New York State, subsequent to the individual passing an examination established by the board created for such a purpose. Section 492 creates a board of examiners within the department for master plumbers. It further establishes the members of such board, the responsibilities placed on members of the board, fees for licenses, and compensation and expenses for the board. Section 2 enacts such law 180 days after it shall have become a law.
