What it does
This bill modifies provisions in Code chapter 105, which provides for the licensure and regulation of plumbers, mechanical professionals, and contractors by the plumbing and mechanical systems board. The bill defines a “farm” to refer to land, buildings, and structures used for agricultural purposes including but not limited to the storage, handling, and drying of grain and the care, feeding, and housing of livestock. The bill modifies the definition of “routine maintenance” to remove a provision stating that the term includes emergency repairs.
