Application for journeyman or master plumber license

No applicant shall be entitled to take the examination for either the master or journeyman plumber's certificate and license unless and until the applicant furnishes to the board satisfactory evidence that the applicant possesses sufficient practical experience to enable the applicant to perform satisfactorily the duties of the classification for which the applicant has made application. The application fee is fifty dollars. 1. Applicants for a journeyman plumber's examination and license shall have had four years' experience as an apprentice plumber under a licensed master plumber. Applicants who are working at the plumbing trade in localities where state licenses are not required, who have had five years of experience (one thousand nine hundred hours per year and a total of nine thousand five hundred hours) and who furnish four affidavits verifying years of experience, may make application for a journeyman examination screening test. The screening test is defined as an oral and written test given by the state plumbing board and a plumbing inspection report, signed by a state plumbing inspector, of an installation installed by the applicant to determine the applicant's qualifications for writing the journeyman examination. The journeyman license fee is one hundred dollars. 2.
