AN ACT relating to licensing.

SB 220 allows Kentucky facilities with certain piping systems to conduct their own inspections instead of relying on department inspectors, provided they obtain a facility license. It establishes licensing requirements for both individual "owner's piping inspectors" (requiring certification under specific industry standards) and independent inspection agencies, with application fees ($100 for inspectors, $1,000 for facilities/agencies) and renewal processes. Facilities must maintain inspection records for five years and update the department on inspectors or agencies within 30 days of any changes. The bill applies only to piping systems already mandated for department inspection under current law.
