HB1447

House Bill 1447 amends the existing Arkansas Code regarding plumbing licensure requirements. It introduces an exemption for septic system installers who are already licensed under the Arkansas Sewage Disposal Systems Act. Specifically, these installers are authorized to install pipes from a building's stub-out to the septic tank without being required to hold a separate license as a plumber. The bill seeks to clarify regulatory roles and avoid redundant licensing requirements for professionals performing specialized onsite wastewater system work. This change essentially permits licensed septic installers to complete the connection between a structure's plumbing outlet and the waste treatment system.
