H 4283 Massachusetts House · 194th Legislature (2025-2026)

An Act relative to the registration of irrigation contractors

This bill establishes a Board of Registration for Irrigation Contractors in Massachusetts. It requires all individuals performing irrigation work (like installation or repair) or using the title "irrigation contractor" to obtain certification from the board, and mandates that businesses using the title "irrigation contracting business" must secure a separate business permit. The board, appointed by the governor with specific industry and public representation, will issue certifications, maintain registries, enforce rules, and handle disciplinary actions for violations. The law defines key terms like "irrigation system" and "certified contractor" to clarify scope and requirements.
