A bill for an act related to the regulation of certain licensed professionals by counties and cities, including prohibiting contractor licensing and limiting permit fees.

SSB 1114 prohibits counties and cities from charging license fees to state-licensed contractors (including plumbing, mechanical, HVAC, sheet metal, and hydronic professionals) or general/subcontractors. It limits local permit and inspection fees for these services to a maximum of $500 per permit. The bill directly affects contractors performing regulated work and local governments that previously collected licensing fees or set higher permit costs. These changes ensure state-licensed professionals face no additional local licensing costs while capping fee structures for permits and inspections.
