An Act regarding requirements for continuing education for electricians

This bill mandates that electricians in Massachusetts complete 21 hours of continuing education every three years to renew their licenses. The required training includes 15 hours of board-approved courses on electrical codes and regulations, plus 6 hours of self-selected professional development topics such as safety and business. Specific exemptions exist for instructors who teach the courses and for those who recently obtained their licenses, while penalties for non-compliance include denial of license renewal and potential disciplinary action.
