ARLINGTON, Va. - Citizens of Terre Haute, Ind., will have something Jan. 1, 2005, that they have not had before - licensing requirements for HVACR contractors. The city council met and approved amendments to Chapter 4 of the Terre Haute City Code, article 10, "Contractors and Skilled Trades." The code specifically identifies NATE certification as a license requirement.
Terre Haute is the first city in the United States to specifically adopt NATE certification as a mechanism for awarding a license to a contractor operating in that city.
