What it does

The legislature's own summary of the bill, or its official long title.

This Act limits the ability to set professional standards and licensing requirements for plumbing or HVACR licensees to the Board of Plumbing, Heating, Ventilation, Air Conditioning, and Refrigeration Examiners. This Act requires a 2/3 vote requirement because it indirectly impacts a municipal charter.
