This bill amends the Massachusetts General Laws to establish continuing education requirements for electricians licensed by the Board of State Examiners of Electricians. Key provisions include: 1) Licensees must complete 21 hours of continuing education every 3 years, with 15 hours focused on the Massachusetts Electrical Code, business, law, and related topics, and 6 hours in professional development subjects of the licensee's choosing. 2) Inspectors of wires, electrical inspectors, and board members must complete the 15 hours of mandatory continuing education within the first year of a new edition of the Massachusetts Electrical Code being released. 3) Inspectors of wires must complete an additional 6 hours of continuing education per license cycle, for a total of 27 hours. 4) The board may grant extensions or exemptions from the continuing education requirements in certain circumstances, such as illness or disability. 5) Licensees who do not complete the required continuing education will not be eligible for license renewal, and those who misrepresent their completion may face disciplinary action. 6) Specific documentation and recordkeeping requirements are established for the continuing education courses and certificates of completion.
