Bill > HB0028

This bill amends provisions related to on-premise sign installation by modifying definitions and exemptions within Utah's construction trades licensing regulations. Specifically, the bill adds a new exemption to the electrical trade definition, allowing for "minor electrical work incidental to a mechanical or service installation" including the installation, maintenance, or repair of on-premise signs. Additionally, the bill adds a specific exemption under the construction trade licensure requirements to permit non-licensed individuals to perform electrical work related to on-premise sign installation. The modifications appear designed to clarify and potentially simplify regulatory requirements for sign installation work, potentially reducing barriers for smaller businesses or contractors who might previously have needed specialized electrical licensing to perform such work. The bill is set to take effect on May 7, 2025, providing advance notice to businesses and contractors about the upcoming regulatory changes.
