Sec. C11-30. Intent; exemption for contractors and apprentices.

This chapter requiring examination and certification as to competency in performing plumbing work is enacted to protect the health, safety and welfare of the general public. Such regulation is necessary because, except for contractors and apprentices, there are no minimum standards of competency established by law for those engaged in the plumbing trades. Plumbing work is complex and demanding and carries high risk of harm to person and property if done improperly. Neither individuals required to be licensed under the Contractors License Law, of the Business and Professions Code § 7000 et seq., nor individuals regulated under an apprenticeship program pursuant to Chapter 4, Division 3 of the Labor Code (Labor Code § 3070 et seq.), shall be required to take the examination or to obtain the certificate of competency provided for by this chapter.

(Ord. No. NS-1100.54, 63, 10-30-79; Ord. No. NS-1100.88, § 6, 6-29-99; Ord. No. NS-1100.89, § 5, 10-22-02)
