CHAPTER Mec 500  INITIAL LICENSE APPLICATION FEES, INSPECTION FEES, LICENSE RENEWAL FEES, AND MISCELLANEOUS BOARD FEES

 

REVISION NOTE:

 

          Chapter Saf-Mec 500 titled “Initial License Application Fees, Inspection Fees, License renewal fees, and Miscellaneous Board fees” was originally adopted by Document #10849, effective 7-1-15. 

 

        Pursuant to 2021, 91:82, effective 7-1-21, which amended RSA 153:27-a, the Mechanical Licensing Board was transferred from being a unit within the Division of Fire Safety of the Department of Safety to a unit within the Office of Professional Licensure and Certification (OPLC).  The Board still had its own rulemaking authority under RSA 153:28, RSA 153:29, and RSA 153:29-a to adopt rules, but with the approval of the Commissioner of the Department of Safety.  Pursuant to 2022, 314:21-23 and 25, effective 7-1-22, the Board still has its own rulemaking authority under RSA 153:28, RSA 153:29, and RSA 153:29-a to adopt rules but with the approval of the Executive Director of the OPLC.  The existing rules of the Board were numbered with the rule prefix subtitle “Saf-Mec”, but all rules would eventually be renumbered with the rule prefix title “Mec” to indicate the transfer of the Board from the Department of Safety.

 

        Document #13608, effective 6-11-23, readopted with amendment and renumbered Saf-Mec 501.05 titled “Late Renewal and Reinstatement Fees”, in Part Saf-Mec 501 titled “Individual Licensing Fees”, as Mec 501.05 titled “Reinstatement  Fees.”  Document #13608 also readopted with amendment and renumbered Saf-Mec 502.03 titled “Late Renewal and Reinstatement Fees”, in Part Saf-Mec 502 titled “Mechanical Business Entity Fees”, as Mec 502.03 titled “Reinstatement Fees.”  Document #13608 also readopted with amendment and renumbered Part Saf-Mec 504 titled “Fees for Other Services” as Part Mec 504. 

 

          The chapter heading, other part headings, and all other existing rules in Chapter Saf-Mec 500 which were not in Document #13608 were subsequently renumbered with the rule prefix title “Mec” as editorial changes during the process pursuant to RSA 541-A:15, I of preparing the rules in Document #13608 for certification by the Board.  The former prefix is indicated in the source notes.
