Michigan HB5551 modifies the requirements for backflow prevention testing by plumbers.

Michigan HB5551 amends the state construction code to modify the requirements for backflow prevention testing by plumbers. The bill specifies that a license is not required for testing if the individual holds an active ASSE 5110 certification as a backflow prevention assembly tester. It also outlines exceptions for certain plumbing activities, such as minor repairs and installations, that do not require a license if permits and inspections are secured.
