When a person is issued a master plumber's license, the person must provide the board with a certificate of insurance that meets the requirements of Section 1301.552 before the person works as a master plumber.

A political subdivision that requires a master plumber to have a bond before issuing a permit to the master plumber shall accept either a bond or a certificate of insurance. The certificate of insurance must:

(1) be written by a company licensed to do business in this state;

(2) provide for commercial general liability insurance for the master plumber for a claim for property damage or bodily injury, regardless of whether the claim arises from negligence or on a contract; and

(3) provide coverage of not less than $300,000 for all claims arising in a one-year period.
