HD 286 Massachusetts House · 193rd Legislature (2023-2024)

An Act clarifying the existing pipefitting exemption

This bill amends Massachusetts law to clarify that existing exemptions from licensing requirements do not apply to pipefitters who work for contractors or subcontractors hired by large organizations. Specifically, it targets pipefitters employed by firms retained to perform work on the premises or property of entities such as hospitals, schools, and government agencies. The change ensures that these workers must adhere to the same examining and licensing rules as other pipefitters, aiming to standardize professional oversight in specific employment contexts.
