Louisiana HB1197 regulates plumbing and gas fitting licensing, including fines and disciplinary actions.
Louisiana HB1197 amends existing law to enhance regulation of plumbing and gas fitting licensing. The State Plumbing Board can now assess administrative fines for violations, with fines ranging from $500 to $5,000 per violation. These fines do not require a consumer complaint, must follow notice and a hearing, and are separate from criminal prosecution. Grounds for disciplinary actions include felony convictions, falsification of applications, substandard work, habitual rule violations, and failure to report employment changes.
