TO EXEMPT A SEPTIC SYSTEM INSTALLER LICENSED UNDER THE ARKANSAS SEWAGE DISPOSAL SYSTEMS ACT FROM LICENSURE AS A PLUMBER.
HB 1447 exempts septic system installers licensed under Arkansas' Sewage Disposal Systems Act from needing a separate plumber's license. This directly affects licensed septic installers by removing a redundant licensing requirement. The bill eliminates overlapping regulations without changing other licensing standards or creating new obligations. It became Act 255 on March 6, 2025.
