    54-2402.  LICENSE REQUIRED. It shall be unlawful for any person who is not
licensed under the provisions of this chapter to operate, offer to operate, be
in responsible charge of, or to otherwise serve as operating personnel at any
public drinking water system or any public wastewater system as defined in the
provisions of this chapter. Operating personnel shall include every person
making system control or system integrity decisions about water quantity or
water quality that may affect public health. It shall be unlawful for any
person to use, in connection with their name or otherwise assume or advertise,
any title or description tending to convey the impression of being a water or
wastewater system operator, unless such person  has been duly registered and
possesses a current license in good standing issued by the board or is
otherwise exempted under the provisions of this chapter. Furthermore, it shall
be unlawful for any person who is the designated responsible charge operator
of a drinking water or wastewater system to not be licensed at a category
class equal to or greater than the classification of the drinking water or
wastewater system. It shall be unlawful for any person to perform backflow
assembly testing or inspection unless such person is licensed under the
provisions of this chapter. The right to practice as a drinking water
operator, wastewater operator, or backflow assembly tester shall be deemed a
personal right, based on the qualifications of the individual as evidenced by
a current license, and shall not be transferable.  Provided however, that
persons licensed, registered or otherwise regulated by the state of Idaho to
practice a profession shall not be required to obtain a license under this act
in order to practice within the scope of practice of the profession for which
they are licensed, registered or otherwise regulated.
