Requiring Division of Labor establish separate rules for residential or commercial plumbing

SB 242 requires West Virginia's Division of Labor to create separate licensing rules for plumbers working in residential homes versus commercial buildings. The bill amends state law to mandate that the Commissioner of Labor propose distinct rules covering licensing standards, examinations, and classifications for these two work settings. This change would replace the current unified system with two separate regulatory frameworks. The bill does not alter existing licensing requirements but specifies that future rules must differentiate between residential and commercial plumbing work. The legislation is currently in the early stages of the legislative process.
