ID H0604

Requires electrical contractors working as residential or journeyman electricians to hold a residential, journeyman, or master electrician's license, and mandates all electrical installations be performed by or under direct supervision of a licensed electrician.

Individual owners of electrical contracting businesses must employ a full-time journeyman electrician with over 2,000 hours of documented experience or a master electrician, though owners may act as their own journeyman or master electrician if properly licensed.

Establishes supervision ratios for apprentice electricians: one licensed electrician to no more than six apprentices in residential settings, and one journeyman or master electrician to no more than two apprentices in non-residential settings; no ratio applies to apprentices with 6,000+ hours of work experience who are enrolled in or completed a board-approved career technical education program.

Permits limited electrical installer trainees to work without supervision ratio requirements upon registration with the division of occupational and professional licenses.

Preempts all local governmental entities from adopting electrical contractor requirements that differ from or exceed state requirements, including any codes, ordinances, policies, or guidance in effect before, on, or after July 1, 2023.

Effective July 1, 2024.
