Subject: RE: BS: Joe the Plumber
Riginslinger's statute excerpt is of interest, but doesn't establish what he cites it for

The statute Rig quotes is merely a definitions statute, which does not purport to lay out qualifications or licensing requirements, or procedures for licensing.   In effect that statute merely says, "When we refer to 'X', this is what it means."

I remember reading, perhaps in this thread (and I've referred to that post earlier in this thread, myself), perhaps in some other thread, a quote of an Ohio statute which set out those plumbing operations which may ONLY be done by a licensed plumber or licensed plumbing contractor.

Incidentally, I also recall reading (probably in this thread) that J the P's employer is not a licensed contractor in Ohio. And perhaps it was also that the employer is not a licensed plumber himself.
