No, you will not need a license to connect portable gas bottle devices.

This proposed bill actually amends existing statute by requiring structured licensing for existing commercial and residential gas supply piping. It is added in after RSA 329-a, which defines requirements for the plumbing profession.

Here is the applicable section defining the type of work that would be regulated with this proposed regulation:

"...III. “Fuel gas fitting” means the installation, repair of pipes, fixtures, fittings, appliances, or apparatus necessary for supplying natural gas or propane for residential or commercial use from the point of delivery and all gas piping before connection to the combustion zone and including the applicable venting of flue gases to the outside atmosphere and the provisions for air for combustion and ventilation..."

This is a basic "common sense" type regulation that will hopefully find easy passage in the House....and help find closure & peace for the family so dreadfully affected by the tragedy that proceeded the introduction of this legislation.
