Sec. 2. Input of interested parties. Resolved: That, in developing the proposal, the department and the system shall solicit input from interested parties, including, but not limited to:
A. The Electricians' Examining Board, established by the Maine Revised Statutes, Title 5, section 12004-A, subsection 13;
B. The Plumbers' Examining Board, established by Title 5, section 12004-A, subsection 32; and
C. Consumers of home repair, plumbing and electrical services; and be it further
Sec. 3. Report. Resolved: That, no later than December 7, 2005, the department and the system shall submit a report that includes its findings and recommendations, including suggested legislation, for presentation to the Joint Standing Committee on Business, Research and Economic Development. Following receipt and review of the report, the Joint Standing Committee on Business, Research and Economic Development may report out a bill to the Second Regular Session of the 122nd Legislature.
