Proposed Regulation – Board of Examiners of Electrical Contractors
NEWARK – The Board of Examiners of Electrical Contractors has proposed amendments to rules regarding qualifications for becoming a licensed electrical contractor. The proposal effectuates P.L. 2018, c.155, which requires applicants for licensure to have five years of experience, which include a four-year electrical apprenticeship program accredited and approved by the United States Department of Labor (DOL) and one year as a journeyman electrician. The law also provides that, from December 17, 2018, through December 17, 2022, an individual may qualify for an electrical contractor’s license without having to participate in a DOL-accredited and approved apprenticeship program if the individual was employed in the electrical trade or enrolled in a formal apprenticeship program prior to December 17, 2018. The proposed amendments and new rule establish experiential requirements consistent with the requirements of P.L. 2018, c. 155. The proposed regulation, and information on how to submit a comment by November 6, 2021 can be viewed
here.
