· Visible License Law
Effective July 1, 2004 all craftsmen licensed by Oregon Building Codes Division are required to visibly wear or display their license while performing work for which a license is required. The sole exception to this requirement is when wearing the license would constitute a danger to either the licensed individual or to the public.

· Class Fees Waived
John Endicott directed the Training Center to waive all class registration fees effective Monday, October 20, 2003. Members must continue to pay for any required books, exam and certification fees. John believes that this policy is in the best interest of Local 290 members in light of the the current economic conditions. He hopes all members will take advantage of this fee waiver by registering for more classes than they normally do.
