An Act To Allow a Home Heating Oil Delivery Driver To Bleed a Home Heating Oil Burner
Be it enacted by the People of the State of Maine as follows:
Sec. 1.  32 MRSA §18134-A  is enacted to read:
§ 18134-A. Exception; bleeding of heating oil burner
Notwithstanding section 18134, paragraph C, a home heating oil delivery driver may bleed a home heating oil burner without direct supervision. If the oil burner fails to operate after bleeding, the delivery driver shall refer the problem to a journeyman oil and solid fuel burning technician or master oil and solid fuel burning technician.
 
SUMMARY
This bill allows a home heating oil delivery driver to bleed a home heating oil burner. Current law restricts this practice to apprentice oil burning technicians who are under the direct supervision of a journeyman or master oil burning technician.
