Exempts licensed master plumbers from certain electrical contractor business permit requirements.

This bill exempts licensed master plumbers in New Jersey from needing a business permit from the Board of Examiners of Electrical Contractors to perform certain electrical work. Specifically, it allows these plumbers to replace electric water heaters and air conditioning units without needing a separate electrical contractor's license. This change aims to reduce regulatory burdens and costs for both plumbers and customers by leveraging the existing skills and training of licensed master plumbers.
