ND HB1157

Amends North Dakota Century Code sections relating to state electrical board regulation, revising definitions of electrician classes and adding a new "power limited electrician" license category for installations involving class II or class III circuits.

Establishes licensing requirements for power limited electricians through either board-recognized tradesman certification or board-approved work experience and training.

Modifies advertising restrictions to prohibit unlicensed persons from advertising electrical services unless associated with a licensed class B, master, or power limited electrician, or subcontracting with a licensed contractor.

Clarifies that class B electricians may only contract for farmstead wiring or residential wiring in municipalities with populations of 2,500 or less, and requires master and power limited electricians to carry minimum liability insurance of $500,000.

Updates inspection requirements to include power limited system installations, extends continuing education requirements to eight hours biennially, and maintains criminal penalties as class B misdemeanor for first violations and class A misdemeanor for subsequent violations.
