This bill modifies a rule of the Department of Safety and Professional Services to create an exception to the continuing education requirement for a youth apprentice who is enrolled as a registered electrician.
Under current law, no person may install, repair, or maintain electrical wiring unless the person is licensed as an electrician or enrolled as a registered electrician by DSPS. Under current rules of DSPS, a person who is enrolled as a registered electrician may renew his or her enrollment if the person obtains at least 24 hours of continuing education prior to the expiration of the one-year term of the enrollment.
