Official statutory text
(a) There is created a class of license that shall be known as a contractor master plumber.

(b) No application for a license of a contractor master plumber shall be filed with the department of labor and training, nor shall any applicant be permitted to take the examination for a license, unless:
(1) The applicant possesses the requisite skill, expertise, education, experience, training, and other qualities or qualifications to take an examination as the department of labor and training, by the promulgation of regulations, may require; and
