OK SB1480

Electrical inspectors must have a minimum high school education and 10 years of actual experience in the electrical industry, replacing the previous vague requirement of being "familiar with all types of electrical installations"

Board of county commissioners may appoint electrical inspectors to serve at the board's pleasure, rather than for a prescribed term, and the board determines appropriate compensation

Inspectors must be familiar with electrical codes of affected municipalities, counties, or Metropolitan Area Planning Commissions

The board of county commissioners adopts rules regarding inspection methods and timing, rather than the inspector creating their own rules and regulations
