Bill > HB206

This bill modifies Montana's existing law regarding the presentation of electrician licenses by expanding who can request to see an electrician's license at a job site. Specifically, the bill removes language that previously allowed employees of private or public employment agencies and labor unions to request license verification. Instead, the revised law now explicitly permits building code compliance inspectors (as defined in section 50-60-302), department employees, individuals professionally responsible for the job site, and other electricians working on the same job site to ask a worker to present their electrician's license. If the worker cannot provide their license when requested, the requesting party may report this to the board or department. The bill maintains the existing provision that allows department employees to issue citations and collect fines from workers who fail to display their electrician's license upon request. These changes aim to streamline and clarify the process of verifying electrician licensing credentials at work sites, ensuring that only authorized personnel can request license verification.
