Division: *Field Services and Public Safety (Plumber Program)*
Topic: Adoption (CR-103) – Plumber Certification (SHB 1889 & ESB 5997 Implementation)
Brief Description: The purpose of this rulemaking is to update the plumber trainee requirements under WAC 296-400A-120. The amendments will affect application for a certificate, supervision ratios, and reporting of plumbing hours for plumber trainees. The amendments are needed for uniformity with the requirements in Substitute House Bill 1889 [ [link removed] ] (SHB 1889), Chapter 50, Laws of 2024; and Engrossed Senate Bill 5997 [ [link removed] ] (ESB 5997), Chapter 97, Laws of 2024.
Adopted amendments to WAC 296-400A-120, What do I need to know about plumber trainee certificates?:
* Permits plumber trainee applicants the option of providing an ITIN in lieu of a SSN when applying for a plumber trainee certificate for uniformity with SHB 1889.
* Updates language for uniformity with ESB 5997. This includes:
* Amending the expiration date for the required supervision ratios for plumber trainees to certified plumbers from December 31, 2025, to December 31, 2028; and
* Removing the requirements that failure of a trainee to report plumbing hours worked for each employer is a violation of chapter 18.106 RCW, subject to an infraction under RCW 18.106.320, and must result in nonrenewal of a plumbing trainee certificate.
* Includes amendments to existing language for clarity.
*Effective date: September 24, 2024*
