What’s in it

This bill relates to boiler and unfired steam pressure vessel inspections conducted pursuant to Code chapter 89. The bill strikes a requirement that external operating inspections of steel hot water heating boilers be conducted in years other than the year in which internal inspections are conducted. The bill also changes the term “steel hot water heating boiler” to “steel hot water boiler”. The bill strikes a requirement that an internal inspection of a low pressure steam boiler be conducted in lieu of an external inspection if the boiler is in dry lay-up.

Read the full explanation

The bill modifies an exemption from Code chapter 89 by providing that the exemption applies to water heaters used for potable water if the capacity is less than or equal to 50 gallons and the burner input is less than or equal to 50,000 British thermal units, rather than 120 gallons and 200,000 British thermal units as provided under current law.
