(1)In addition to the boiler inspectors authorized by KRS 236.070, the department

shall, upon the request of any company authorized to insure against loss from

explosion of boilers and pressure vessels in this state, issue to any boiler inspectors

of said company commissions as special boiler inspectors, provided that each such

special boiler inspector before receiving such commission, shall satisfactorily pass

the examination provided for in KRS 236.090, or, in lieu of such examination, shall

hold a commission or certificate of competency as an inspector of boilers and

pressure vessels for a state that has a standard of examination substantially equal to

that of this Commonwealth or a commission as an inspector of boilers and pressure

vessels issued by the National Board of Boiler and Pressure Vessel Inspectors.

(2)Such special boiler inspectors shall receive no salary from, nor shall any of their

expenses be paid by, the state and the continuance of a special inspector's

commission shall be conditioned upon his or her continuing in the employ of an

insurance company duly authorized as aforesaid and upon his or her maintenance of

the standards imposed by this chapter.

(3)Such special boiler inspectors shall inspect all boilers and pressure vessels insured

by their respective companies, and, when so inspected and reported as required, the

owners and users of such insured boilers and pressure vessels shall be exempt from

the payment to the state of the inspection fees as provided for in KRS 236.120 and

236.130.

(30)days

following each certificate inspection made by such inspectors, file a report of such

Other than the certificate inspection report, no reporting of other inspections shall

be required except when such inspections disclose that the boiler or pressure vessel

is in a dangerous condition.
