An Act to establish standards for medical gas piping systems.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives in General Court assembled, and by the authority of the same, as follows:
Such work having been heretofore unregulated, and as a matter of public safety, the Massachusetts Board of Examiners of Plumbers and Gasfitters, under the terms of Chapter 248 CMR, will be authorized to oversee and set standards for all work on medical gas and vacuum piping systems. Such standards will be based on applicable sections of the current Uniform Plumbing Code of the International Association of Plumbing and Mechanical Officials. The Board is authorized to modify such sections as it deems in the best interests of public safety in the Commonwealth.
