AI Summary
This bill modifies existing regulations for licensed electricians by establishing a new rule about the ratio of journeyman electricians to apprentices. Specifically, the bill allows a journeyman electrician to supervise or employ up to two apprentices, with one of those apprentices required to be a student from an accredited Chapter 74 Electricity program. Chapter 74 is a Massachusetts education program that provides vocational and technical training in specific fields. The bill directs the board of state examiners of electricians and board of electricians appeals to create regulations that implement this new apprentice-to-journeyman ratio. By mandating that one apprentice must be a student from an accredited program, the bill aims to ensure that at least one apprentice is receiving structured, formal education while gaining practical work experience under a licensed journeyman electrician's supervision.
