| This bill increases plumbing permit fees and removes |
| references to rules governing plumbing adopted by the Department |
| of Human Services. It allows a municipality to enact ordinances |
| under its home rule authority that are more restrictive than |
| rules governing plumbing adopted by the Department of |
| Professional and Financial Regulation. It also provides that a |
| portion of plumbing permit fees paid must be used by the |
| Department of Human Services to administer the receipt and |
| collation of completed permits and the issuance of plumbing |
| permit labels to municipalities and by the State Planning Office |
| for training and certification of local plumbing inspectors. |
