H 2639 Massachusetts House · 194th Legislature (2025-2026)

An Act relative to hoisting license renewal

This bill limits the classroom training required for renewing hoisting licenses in Massachusetts. It prohibits the Commissioner of Public Safety from creating rules requiring more than two hours of classroom credit every four years for license renewal. The change directly affects individuals and businesses holding hoisting licenses, such as crane operators or equipment handlers. The key provision is a strict cap on mandatory training hours, replacing any previous or future requirements exceeding this limit. This is a regulatory change to license renewal rules, not a broader policy shift.
