Show Notes
Louisiana lawmakers propose to relax plumbing license requirements to boost workforce, ahead of $100B in new business investments. House Bill 953, sponsored by Rep. Bryan Fontenot, aims to reduce the current 7,000 hours of required experience. Plumbers oppose the change, warning of potential risks to public health and infrastructure. Supporters argue the high hours hinder hiring for large projects. The bill, which includes a certified plumbing technician license and residency rule, advanced without objection. A companion bill for a college and vocational training path to journeyman status also passed smoothly.
