summary

This amendment removes from the bill the language that subjects boilers owned by municipalities to the State's boiler inspection requirements and removes the requirement in law that boilers be constructed and installed in accordance with rules adopted by the director to be exempt from inspection.

Although this legislation has been identified as a potential state mandate, the State's regulatory oversight of heating boilers and hot water boilers in schools dates back to the 1930's and represents a long-standing safety requirement to ensure the safe operation of boilers in schools, subject only to a brief period of repeal under Public Law 2013, chapter 595.
