House Bill 2155 creates the Texas State Board of Mechanical Industries to consolidate the licensing and regulation of the plumbing, air conditioning and refrigeration, irrigation services, and backflow prevention services professions. The act abolishes the Texas State Board of Plumbing Examiners, the Air Conditioning and Refrigeration Contractors Advisory Board, and the Texas irrigators advisory council, eliminates certain applications of Texas Natural Resource Conservation Commission regulations, and transfers authority over these professions to the Texas State Board of Mechanical Industries.
The board is required to issue separate licenses, certificates, permits, or registrations for the professions covered by this act, adopt rules, comply with federal regulations, and establish penalties for violations.
