AN ACT CONCERNING SKILLED TRADE LICENSING RECIPROCITY IN NEW ENGLAND.

SB 668 would create a reciprocal licensing agreement between Connecticut and other New England states for skilled trades (like plumbing, electrical work, or carpentry). This bill would allow licensed workers from one New England state to obtain licensure in Connecticut without retaking exams, directly benefiting skilled trade workers seeking employment across state lines. The agreement would be implemented by amending Connecticut’s general statutes to adopt this mutual recognition framework. The bill focuses on streamlining licensing processes, not on new regulatory standards.
