It requires electrical contractors, electricians, and apprentice electricians to obtain a license from the board, which will be composed of government officials and industry professionals representing different sectors of the electrical field. To maintain their licenses, these individuals must meet specific qualifications, complete continuing education, and carry liability insurance, while the board has the authority to set fees and impose fines for violations. The legislation also establishes a process for suspending or revoking licenses for those who break the law or fail to meet regulatory standards.
