Title 58, Chapter 55, provides for the licensure of various classifications of plumber. Subsection 58-1-106(1)(a) provides that the Division may adopt and enforce rules to administer Title 58. Subsection 58-55-201(2) provides that one of the Plumbers Licensing Board's duties and responsibilities shall be recommending to the Construction Services Commission appropriate rules. Subsection 58-55-103 (1)(b)(i) provides that the Commission shall, with the concurrence of the director, make reasonable rules. This rule was enacted to clarify the provisions of Title 58, Chapter 55, with respect to plumbers.
Summary of written comments received during and since the last five-year review of the rule from interested persons supporting or opposing the rule:
Since this rule was last reviewed in October 2011, it has been amended one time in October 2014. The Division has received no written comments with respect to this rule.
Reasoned justification for continuation of the rule, including reasons why the agency disagrees with comments in opposition to the rule, if any:
This rule should be continued as it provides a mechanism to inform potential licensees of the requirements for licensure as allowed under statutory authority provided in Title 58, Chapter 55, with respect to various classifications of plumbers. The rule should also be continued as it provides information to ensure applicants for licensure are adequately trained and meet minimum licensure requirements and provides licensees with information concerning unprofessional conduct, definitions, and ethical standards relating to the profession.
