An Act To Allow a Home Heating Oil Delivery Driver To Bleed a Home Heating Oil Burner

Sec. 1. 32 MRSA §18134-A  is enacted to read:

§ 18134-A.  Exception; bleeding of heating oil burner

Notwithstanding section 18134, paragraph C, a home heating oil delivery driver may bleed a home heating oil burner without direct supervision. If the oil burner fails to operate after bleeding, the delivery driver shall refer the problem to a journeyman oil and solid fuel burning technician or master oil and solid fuel burning technician.

summary

This bill allows a home heating oil delivery driver to bleed a home heating oil burner. Current law restricts this practice to apprentice oil burning technicians who are under the direct supervision of a journeyman or master oil burning technician.
