Establishes a statewide boiler operator certification program in Washington, replacing local certifications.

The bill creates a unified statewide boiler operator certification program in Washington, replacing local certifications. It sets requirements for different levels of certification based on experience and education. The Department of Labor and Industries will administer the program, including examinations and certification renewals. Cities can maintain their own certification programs if they meet or exceed state requirements and actively enforce them. The bill also outlines penalties for operating boilers without a valid certification and procedures for revoking or suspending certifications.
