H 4816 Massachusetts House · 194th Legislature (2025-2026)

An Act clarifying the existing pipefitting exemption

This bill clarifies an existing exemption in licensing law for pipefitting work. It specifically adds that the exemption applies to pipefitting performed by employees of contractors or subcontractors hired by certain organizations (like utility companies) for work on the organization's own property or premises. The change directly affects contractors and subcontractors working for these organizations, ensuring their on-site pipefitting work is covered under the exemption. The bill makes no new requirements but removes potential ambiguity about the scope of the exemption.
