### § 62-01-01-01. Organization of board of plumbing.

1. History. The 1941 legislative assembly passed a state plumbing law, codified as North Dakota
Century Code chapter 43-18. The chapter was intended to promote and protect the public
health through the regulation of the business of plumbing by creating a state board of
plumbing and empowering the board and the department of environmental quality to adopt
rules governing the practice of plumbing and establishing a code of minimum standards of
plumbing work. The 1973 legislative assembly passed legislation, codified as North Dakota
Century Code chapter 43-18.1, which regulates the installation of water-conditioning
equipment. The 1987 legislative assembly passed legislation, codified as North Dakota
Century Code chapter 43-18.2, which regulates the installation of sewer and water services.
2. Board membership. The board of plumbing consists of the chief sanitary engineer of the
department of environmental quality, and four persons appointed by the governor: one a
master plumber; one a journeyman plumber; one a registered professional engineer; and one
a representative of the consuming public. The four appointed members of the board serve
four-year terms, with one term expiring each year.
3. Secretary and executive director. The secretary and executive director of the board is
appointed by the board and is responsible for administration of the board's activities.
4. Inquiries. All inquiries and communication relating to licensing, plumbing installation, and
inspections may be directed to:
