Is the Government trying to RUIN your pluming license?

You’ve spent years—thousands of hours—earning your plumbing license. But what if that same license could soon be handed out with just a fraction of the experience?

In this video, Roger Wakefield, Texas Master Plumber, breaks down the shocking details behind Louisiana House Bill 953 and why it could have serious consequences for the plumbing industry, skilled trades, and even homeowners.

This bill proposes:

Dissolving the State Plumbing Board
Shifting control to general contractors
Slashing apprenticeship requirements from 8,000 hours to just 2,000

Is this really about solving the labor shortage—or is it about lowering wages and standards?

Whether you’re a plumber, contractor, DIYer, or homeowner, this affects YOU. कमजोर training standards could put public safety at risk and devalue the hard-earned skills of licensed professionals across the country.

⚠️ Stay until the end to learn how you can make your voice heard.
