AN ORDINANCE AMENDING ORDINANCE N0. 1273, THE PLUMBING CODE,
ORDINANCE N0. 1275, THE ELECTRICAL CODE, AND ORDINANCE N0. 1402,
CONCERNING GENERAL CONTRACTORS, BY DELETING THE REQUIREMENT FOR
THE PURCHASE OF LICENSES FOR SUCH WORKMEN AND CONTRACTORS, PRO-
VIDING FOR PROOF OF REGISTRATION WITH THE BUILDERS BOARD OF THE
STATE OF OREGON, AND DECLARING AN EMERGENCY.
WHEREAS, since 1975, ORS Chapter ?O1 provides the
requirements for registration as a plumber, electrician and
contractor within the State of Oregon, and provides that no city
shall require or issue any registrations, licenses, or surety
bonds, nor charge any fee for the regulatory or surety registration
of any builders or specialty builders registered with the board; and

it may be inappropriate at the present time for the City to license
such plumbers, electricians and contractors without passing a
general occupational license ordinance, and that such is not now
contemplated; now therefore
