What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

The Department of Commerce (Commerce) administers various laws, including

building codes, that promote safety in public and private buildings and in the

subsystems of those buildings. To that end, Commerce issues various registrations,

licenses, permits, and other credentials (registrations) to persons engaged in the

construction trades, such as electricians and plumbers.

This bill prohibits Commerce from promulgating any rule requiring a person

who is engaged in the construction business to hold a registration, unless the rule

relates to a registration specifically authorized or required by statute to be issued by

Commerce.
