PLUMBERS: Provides relative to plumbing

This bill strengthens the Louisiana State Plumbing Board's ability to enforce regulations by introducing administrative fines and expanding the grounds for license discipline. Under the new provisions, the board can impose fines ranging from $500 to $5,000 for each violation without requiring a consumer complaint, provided the licensee receives notice and a chance to be heard. Additionally, the bill clarifies specific behaviors that can lead to license revocation, suspension, or refusal to renew, such as felony convictions, falsifying applications, performing work below safety standards, or allowing unlicensed individuals to perform plumbing tasks. These measures apply to all licensed plumbers, gas fitters, and related professionals, ensuring that violations of state and local codes result in concrete penalties.
