MO HB369

Creates a nine-member Missouri Electrical Industry Licensing Board within the Division of Professional Registration, with members appointed by the governor from three geographic districts and representing different industry associations (National Electrical Contractors Association, Associated Builders and Contractors, Independent Electrical Contractors, Society of Professional Engineers)

Establishes statewide electrical contractor licensing requiring applicants to be at least 21 years old, pass a nationally accredited examination, carry $500,000 in insurance, and complete between 4,000-12,000 hours of practical experience depending on education level

Exempts utility employees, railroad corporations, telecommunications contractors, broadcast engineers, and low-voltage cabling contractors from licensing requirements

Requires political subdivisions to recognize statewide licenses in lieu of local licenses, while preserving their authority to establish local licensing requirements

Makes knowing violations a class B misdemeanor and authorizes the board to suspend or revoke licenses for causes including substance abuse, fraud, incompetence, or criminal convictions
