SB 5491: Plumbing profession
Changing registration requirements for plumbing contractors.
Summary
- Before advertising, offering, or bidding on a job that would require plumbing work, a contractor registered under RCW 18.27 must first have a unique contractor registration issued by L&I. This unique registration is to identify those contractors permitted to do plumbing work. L&I can charge a fee for this registration to cover its administrative costs in issuing the registration.
