What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

This bill makes changes in the definition of "plumbing," as it is defined for

purposes of the statutory provisions relating to plumbing that are administered by

the Department of Commerce. The changes include the following:

1. Changing the definition in certain aspects to include systems that treat or

process wastewater and stormwater.

2. Eliminating references that limit the scope of the definition to piping that

runs from the outside of foundations of a building to water mains and terminals.

3. Eliminating references that limit the scope of the definition to potable water

supply systems.

Under current law, plumbers are classified by the Department of Commerce to

do different types of work. Under the "sewer services" classification, a plumber may

do such work as installing septic tanks and installing sewer service from a septic

tank to a building. Under the bill, plumbers with this classification may also install

systems that reclaim used water or collect stormwater for subsequent uses.
