§ 1936. Licensure of tank inspectors

(a) The secretary may establish a process for licensing persons to perform tank integrity demonstrations, as provided by this section. Under that process, the secretary shall charge a fee, in accordance with 3 V.S.A. § 2822. The secretary shall license persons who demonstrate to the satisfaction of the secretary that they possess the ability to perform tank integrity demonstrations. This demonstration of ability may consist of written and field examinations and may establish different types of licenses for different types of demonstrations. No person shall be required to obtain a license in order to carry out duties as a state employee.

(b) After offering opportunity for hearing before the secretary or a hearing officer, the secretary may revoke the license of any tank inspector who has committed fraud or deceit in obtaining licensure or submitting an application or who has demonstrated gross negligence or incompetence in performing a tank integrity demonstration or in other work relating to a tank integrity demonstration.
