General Part I, Chs. SPS 301—319
General Part II, Chs. SPS 326—360
The Wisconsin Department of Safety and Professional Services adopts an order revising Chapters
SPS 305
and
345
, relating to credentials for HVAC contractors, refrigerant handling technicians, master plumbers, and elevator mechanics.
Effect on Small Business
Pursuant to Executive Order 50, the proposed rules were posted on both the state's and department's administrative rule websites for 14 days to solicit comments regarding potential economic impacts on businesses, business sectors, professional associations, local governmental units, or interested parties. No comments were received as a result of the solicitations.
The proposed rules implement the direction of
2011 Wisconsin Act 146
regarding the credentialing of refrigerant handling technicians, HVAC contractors, plumbers and elevator mechanics. The Act and the proposed rules eliminate the state mandate for credentials relating to ozone-depleting refrigerants. The current credential fees are: refrigerant handling technician $20 for a 4-year certification, and HVAC contractor $160 for a 4-year registration.
The department does not believe that the proposed rules will create an impact on small businesses any differently than the mandates of the Act.
