Dear BCC Stakeholders and LicenseesThe Skilled Trades Regulation Rules under 2016 PA 407 will take effect May 3, 2023, and will be posted at Skilled Trades Regulation Rules  that same day.  Significant changes of note are the following:

·        Examinees must score 75% to successfully pass an examination.

·        If a qualifying licensed individual ceases to represent the associated electrical or plumbing contractor, the contractor license will summarily be suspended until another qualified licensed individual represents the contractor.

·        Boiler codes are updated to the following editions:

  • NBIC 2019.
  • ASME boiler and pressure vessel code, 2019.
  • ASME B31.1, 2018.
  • ASME CSD-1, 2018.

·        Exams are now required for each registration to become a code official, inspector, and plan reviewer.

  • Exams will be conducted by our third-party vendor, PSI, and we are working with them on an implementation date.
  • Once the exams implementation date has been established with PSI, another notification will be provided with details.
