Relative to homeowners right to perform electrical work. Consumer Protection and Professional Licensure.

AI Summary

This bill clarifies the right of homeowners to perform electrical work on their primary residence, even if they are not certified electricians. Specifically, it removes the requirement that the electrical work be performed "for hire" and adds a new paragraph stating that the inspector of wires cannot reject a permit application from a homeowner for their single-family home, as long as the homeowner owns the property and it is their primary residence.
