Summary

The bill establishes a new State Board of Examiners of Electricians within the Department of Labor and Training and transfers the licensing and examination responsibilities for telecommunications contractors, technicians, and installers to that board. The board must include representatives from public safety, electrical contractors, labor, utilities, sign contracting, and a licensed telecommunications contractor. This centralizes oversight of both electrician and telecom licensing under one board.
