If a licensed fire protection sprinkler contractor desires to do business in any
part of the state, he or she shall deliver to the local building official a copy of his
or her fire protection sprinkler contractor's license and comply with KRS
198B.560 and 198B.565. The local building official shall require a copy of the
license before issuing a license or building license, and no local official shall
impose any other competency requirements on the licensed fire protection
sprinkler contractor.
Nothing in KRS 198B.560 and 198B.565 shall limit the power of a city,
urban-county government, county, or state to regulate the quality and character
of work performed by contractors, through a system of permits, fees and
inspections which are designed to assure compliance with, and aid in the
implementation of state and local building laws or to enforce other local laws
for the protection of the public health and safety. Nothing in KRS 198B.560 and
198B.565 shall limit the power of a city, urban-county government, county, or
the state to adopt any system of permits requiring submission to and approval
by the city, urban-county government, county, or the state of plans and
specifications for work to be performed by contractors before commencement
of the work. The official authorized to issue building or other related permits
shall ascertain that the fire protection sprinkler contractor is duly licensed by
requiring evidence of a valid fire protection sprinkler contractor's license as a
prerequisite to that contractor beginning design, installation, repair, alteration,
extension, maintenance, or inspection of fire protection sprinkler systems.
KRS 198B.560 and 198B.565 shall apply to any fire protection sprinkler
contractor performing work for any city, urban-county government, special
district, county, or the state. Officials of any city, urban-county government,
special district, county, or the state shall determine compliance with KRS
198B.560 and 198B.565 before awarding any contracts for the installation,
repair, alteration, addition, or inspection of a fire protection sprinkler system.
Bids for such work shall be accompanied by a copy of a valid fire protection
sprinkler contractor's license.
