ColoradoTechnical Changes to Energy & Carbon Management Statutes
What it does
Current law requires the energy and carbon management commission (commission) to adopt rules to require certification for welders working on oil and gas process lines, including rules that require passing an exam. The act changes the reference to the welder exam from 'the International Code Council Exam F31, national standard journeyman mechanical, or an analogous successor exam', which is not applicable to welders, to certain other examinations that are applicable to welders in the oil and gas industry. In certain instances, the act changes 'oil and gas operations' to 'energy and carbon management operations' to ensure uniformity of terminology and to align statutory references to 'operations' to those operations that are within the scope of the commission's regulatory authority.(Note: This summary applies to this bill as enacted.)
