california licensing [RE-wrenches]

Esteemed Wrenches,

Can anyone help educate me more about the California (or other state) 
licensing system?  I've been asked to speak at a Massachusetts state 
association of gas and plumbing inspectors and the issue is one that I'd 
like to mention.

Here in Massachusetts, there is one kind of guy that carries a torch in the 
basement legally and that's a "plumber".  Right now we are bound to include 
this rare bird in any tie ins that we do.   This is problematic and 
expensive and is a big incentive to not hassle with permitting systems.  The 
same holds true for PV tie ins and licensed electricians, but in this 
instance, there is no out as the rebate is linked with an approved permit. 
If RE is going to become more widespread, we need the flexibility of the 
California system.

best,
