No person shall be examined unless he or she shall have had
an experience of at least five years as a journeyman plumber and is
able to furnish satisfactory evidence of such fact.
Before issuing a certificate of competency, the Board shall
inquire into the applicant's fitness and qualifications and may
further require the applicant to submit, under oath, such evidence
in addition to the examination and test hereinbefore provided as will
satisfy the Board that he or she is a person of good repute, character
and responsibility and otherwise qualified to engage in the business
of plumbing.
In case a certificate of competency is lost by the holder thereof,
the Board may issue a duplicate where such original certificate was
issued during the term of office of all members of the Board in office
when such duplicate certificate is requested. The charge for such
duplicate certificate shall be established by resolution of the Board
of Trustees. In other cases, the Board shall issue a certificate of
record stating that the records of the office show that a certificate
was issued to a specific person. The charge for such certificate of
record shall be established by resolution of the Board of Trustees.
