To allow individual employees of out of state businesses to perform plumbing in West Virginia without an individual license as the employee is working under supervision of the licensed employer/business

HB 2029 would allow employees of out-of-state plumbing businesses to perform plumbing work in West Virginia without obtaining their own individual plumbing license, provided they work under the direct supervision of a West Virginia-licensed employer. This change specifically affects out-of-state plumbing companies and their employees who currently face licensing barriers when working on-site in West Virginia. The bill amends existing law (§21-14-3(c)(9)) to clarify that supervision by an in-state licensed employer satisfies the licensing requirement. It does not change the need for the employer business to hold a valid West Virginia plumbing license.
