A permit shall be issued only to a person licensed to repair boilers under this act. Work shall not be performed except by or under the immediate supervision of a licensed person. A permit fee prescribed pursuant to section 4a shall be paid directly to the department of labor and shall accompany an application for a permit to repair.
