PLUMBERS: Provides relative to the State Plumbing Board. (gov sig)

The number of master plumbers required on the State Plumbing Board was increased from three to five to adjust the representation of that profession on the board.

Terminology regarding plumbing associations was updated to remove redundant words like 'Plumbing-Heating-Cooling' and 'Inc.' to align with official organization names.

Minor formatting and numbering corrections were made to the bill text to fix inconsistencies in line numbers and section headers.

The requirement for a registered mechanical engineer on the board was removed and replaced with a requirement for a plumbing inspector.

The term of office for board members was clarified to include a provision that members must remain in office until their successors are appointed, even after their term expires.

A new requirement was added that any active master plumber appointed to the board must be listed as the responsible master plumber for their company.

The appointment process for master plumbers was split into two distinct categories: three from the Louisiana Association of Plumbing, Heating and Cooling Contractors and two from the Louisiana Pipe Trades Association.
