Subsection 58-55-201(2) provides that the Plumbers Licensing Board's duties and responsibilities include recommending appropriate rules to the Construction Services Commission. Subsection 58-55-103(1)(b)(i) provides that the Construction Services Commission shall, with the concurrence of the Division director, make reasonable rules under Title 63G, Chapter 3. This rule was enacted to clarify the provisions of Title 58, Chapter 55, with respect to various classifications of plumbers.

This rule should be continued as it provides a mechanism to inform potential licensees of the requirements for licensure as allowed under statutory authority provided in Title 58, Chapter 55, with respect to the various classifications of plumbers.
