    Hi Gary,

    I know they are not notifying about a drivers license (there is an amendment in the state budget to change it back) but have not heard them not notifying about our licenses.

    That would be major as it isn't just a notification, it's the entire renewal form and there isn't anywhere for us to go to do it.

    Renewals

    What state? Are you in Mass. or N.Y.? If so, and they don't send out renewal notice, why put up with it? New England was the home of the original Tea Party. It's nothing more than Taxation without Notification.

    renewal

    You must live and work in Mass Gary? You gotta pay attention to expiration dates now for sure. Apply before your birthday just to be safe. peace

    MA licenses

    just remember that all plumbing licenses expire 4/31/odd year. It does not matter when you recieved it it will always expire on 05/01/even year. Make sure you have all twelve hours of cont.ed. to apply. The penelties are brutal.

    Hope everyone is well.

    Gary,

    The oil licenses are in the same category as our plumbing licenses. Unless they set up a place for us to go they'll have to mail out the renewal.

    How else will they get their fees?

    Do they

    Require you to take any continuing education/code update classes for license renewal?...Started that here in Va. last year. Might just be a south of the Mason-Dixon thing...

    Continuing Ed?

    Do you need any continuing education hours to be eligible for renewal? In the State of WA, you need 16 hours to renew, and the renewal cycle is 2 years.

    Ma license renewal:

    (1) General Continuing Education Provisions.

    (a) Effective for all licenses expiring on or after April 30, 2010, Commonwealth of Massachusetts licensed plumbers and gasfitters shall during every two year license cycle complete a course of continuing education which shall consist of the following:

    1. 12-clock hours of continuing education per renewal cycle for plumbers; provided, however, that no more than six hours may be completed within any 12 month period of the renewal cycle; and

    2. six-clock hours of continuing education per renewal cycle for gasfitters and undiluted liquefied petroleum gas installers; provided, however, that no more than three hours may be completed within any 12 month period of the renewal cycle.
