Small businesses would be expected to be fiscally impacted to the extent that they could incur additional license costs due to the requirements of this proposal.

DESCRIPTION

This act would allow any city, town, or village in any county of the third classification to provide for licensing of electricians and plumbers except employees of a public utility performing work solely for a public utility and other than employees of a railroad corporation performing work solely for a railroad corporation. Also exempted from the provisions of this proposal would be any electrician or plumber who is employed on a full-time basis, not as an independent contractor, by a company to do electrical or plumbing maintenance for the company, and on the company's property.

This legislation is not federally mandated, would not duplicate any other program and would not require additional capital improvements or rental space.
