SECTION 5-20-12.1

   § 5-20-12.1  Issuance of contractor master license. – (a) There is created a class of license which shall be known as a contractor master plumber. This license does not, in and of itself, permit any holder of a license to individually engage in installation, maintenance, or repair as described in this chapter, but may instead only be used in conjunction with a contractor's license as described in § 5-20-12.

   (b) No application for a license of a contractor master plumber shall be filed with the department of labor and training, nor shall any applicant be permitted to take the examination for a license, unless:

   (1) The applicant possesses the requisite skill, expertise, education, experience, training, and other qualities or qualifications to take an examination as the department of labor and training, by the promulgation of regulations, may require.

   (2) The application is accompanied by a test fee, which equals the fee for a master plumber as outlined in § 5-20-16.

   (3) Upon passage of the contractor master examination as prepared and administered by the department of labor and training upon recommendation and advice of the board, payment of a license fee which equals the fee for a master plumber as outlined in § 5-20-23 shall be required and the contractor master license shall be issued as provided in § 5-20-21.

   (c) Applications must be filed with the department of labor and training at least fifteen (15) days prior to the examination date.
