Bill Summary
Relative to the performance of electrical work by single family homeowners. Consumer Protection and Professional Licensure.
AI Summary
This bill aims to clarify the right of single-family homeowners to perform electrical work on their primary residence. Specifically, it removes the phrase "for hire" from the existing law, which means that homeowners can perform electrical work on their own property without having to be a certified electrician. Additionally, the bill prohibits the inspector of wires from rejecting a permit application from a homeowner who meets certain criteria, such as owning the property and it being a single-family house. This bill provides more flexibility for homeowners to undertake electrical work on their own homes without requiring a professional electrician's certification.
