OPINIONS OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL
APPLICABILITY OF STATE CODE TO JURISDICTIONS WITHOUT LOCAL CODE. --O.C.G.A. Pt. 2, Ch. 2, T. 8 does not mandate that State Construction Code be applicable to those jurisdictions which have not adopted a local code. 1982 Op. Att'y Gen. No. 82-17.
THE PLUMBING CODES PROTECT PROPERTY OWNERS by setting the minimum acceptable standard for what is considered to be safe plumbing work. 1990 Op. Att'y Gen. No. 90-9.
TESTING OF APPLICANTS FOR PLUMBING LICENSE. --Since O.C.G.A. § 43-14-6(a)(1) specifically requires the State Construction Industry Licensing Board, Division of Master Plumbers and Journeyman Plumbers, to examine applicants based on the "applicable state minimum standards codes" and, as of October 1, 1991, both the Georgia State Plumbing Code and the Standard Plumbing Code will be the applicable state standard codes, it would appear to be the legislative intent for prospective licensees to be tested on both codes by the division. 1990 Op. Att'y Gen. No. 90-9.
