Committee reviews two DLI technical bills; A1 amendment to SF 3720 adopted and both bills laid over
Summary
The Senate Labor Committee heard DLI's technical bills (SF 3719 and SF 3720). DLI described SF 3719 as cleanup removing references to a defunct license; the committee adopted an A1 amendment to SF 3720 and laid both bills over for further consideration.
The Senate Labor Committee reviewed two Department of Labor and Industry technical bills and took procedural action to move each forward for later consideration.
Josiah Moore, legislative director at DLI, testified in support of Senate File 3719, describing it as housekeeping to remove references in statute to a defunct "class A electrical installers" license that has no current holders and no pathway to licensure. "This license type is a defunct license type," Moore said, and characterized the measure as pure cleanup with no operational impact on contractors.
The committee then considered Senate File 3720 and an author's A1 amendment to delete section 2, which would have added plan review to the list of services that could be delegated to qualified municipalities. Moore said the construction codes advisory council's municipal delegation technical advisory group recommended against adding plan review; he noted that DLI already has authority to reserve projects and to include plan review in delegation where appropriate. The committee moved and adopted the A1 amendment by voice vote.
With no further questions, the committee laid Senate File 3719 over and also laid Senate File 3720, as amended, over for further consideration.
