NORTH CAROLINA GENERAL ASSEMBLY

1973 SESSION

 

 

CHAPTER 1204

HOUSE BILL 1059

 

 

AN ACT TO CHANGE THE DATE OF EXEMPTION FROM EXAMINATION FOR LICENSES BY PRACTICING PLUMBING AND HEATING CONTRACTORS TO DECEMBER 31, 1973.

 

Whereas, it appears that certain contractors did not learn of the change in the law until after the deadline for filing the application had passed, and

Whereas, there needs to be some authority delegated to the Board of Examiners of Plumbing and Heating Contractors to consider late filed applications and to approve the same where the applicant was without fault in not filing on time. Now, therefore,

 

The General Assembly of North Carolina enacts:

 

Section 1.  G.S. 87-21(d) is amended by adding a sentence to read as follows:

"The Board shall, however, consider an application initiated on or prior to December 31, 1973, which clearly shows that the applicant requested an application form prior to said date and filed said application late because he had no knowledge of the deadline, and which clearly shows that the applicant was engaged in the business alleged in the application on and prior to July 6, 1971, and that he otherwise meets the requirements of this Chapter."

Sec. 2.  This act shall become effective upon ratification.

In the General Assembly read three times and ratified, this the 8th day of April, 1974.
