Membership - Tenure - Qualifications and duties - Travel expenses.

A. The Oklahoma State Committee of Plumbing Examiners is hereby

created and shall consist of five (5) members, each of whom shall be

a citizen of the United States, and a resident of this state. One

member shall be appointed from each congressional district and any

remaining members shall be appointed from the state at large.

However, when congressional districts are redrawn each member

appointed prior to July 1 of the year in which such modification

becomes effective shall complete the current term of office and

appointments made after July 1 of the year in which such

modification becomes effective shall be based on the redrawn

districts. Appointments made after July 1 of the year in which such

modification becomes effective shall be from any redrawn districts

which are not represented by a board member until such time as each

of the modified congressional districts are represented by a board

member. No appointments may be made after July 1 of the year in

which such modification becomes effective if such appointment would

result in more than two members serving from the same modified

district. Beginning January 1, 2002, as the terms of members

serving on the Committee on such date expire, members of the

Committee shall be appointed by the Construction Industries Board

which may also remove them for cause. They will hold office for

terms of two (2) years, or until their successors are appointed.

Two members of the Committee shall have had at least five (5) years'

practical experience as a licensed master plumber or plumbing

contractor, and two members shall have had at least five (5) years'

practical experience as a licensed journeyman plumber. One member

shall be a plumbing inspector selected from lists of names submitted

from plumbing inspection industries. Whenever appointments of

initial, new, or replacement plumbing members of the Committee are

to be made, the Board shall choose them only from lists of at least

three names to be furnished whenever needed as follows:

3. One licensed master plumber or plumbing contractor who is

not a member of an association of plumbing, heating, and cooling

pursuant to The Plumbing License Law of 1955, and to assist and

advise the Board on the examination of applicants for licenses as

journeyman plumber or plumbing contractor, in accordance with such

rules and the terms and conditions hereof. A majority of the
