Board adds petroleum-tank coursework requirement; S1/S3 eligible for P9 and S2/S4 for P8 after course 0749
Summary
Following a legislative change adding petroleum tanks to plumbing/piping definitions, the board voted that existing S1/S3 contractors and S2/S4 journeymen may become eligible for P9/P8 contractor exams after completing a 36-hour course (0749).
The board unanimously moved to make S1 and S3 license-holders eligible to sit for the P9 contractor exam, and S2 and S4 license-holders eligible for the P8 contractor exam, contingent on completion of a 36‑hour gasoline/piping course (course 0749). John Messner explained the change followed a recent statute amendment adding petroleum tanks and piping to the plumbing and piping definition, and the board's action aligns S‑class credentials with the contractor categories.
Board members said the intent is to allow individuals already holding unlimited or journeyman credentials a targeted pathway to contractor licensure without repeating long time-in-class requirements. As one member summarized the motion, course 0749 "will make the S‑one, S‑two, S‑three, S‑four eligible for licensure" in the specified contractor categories; the board voted in favor and instructed staff to publish the course requirement and eligibility guidance.
