Bill > SB428

This bill modifies the rules governing the New Hampshire Electricians' Board by increasing the maximum number of terms and years a board member can serve. Specifically, the bill changes the existing law to allow board members to serve up to 3 five-year terms (instead of 2) and extends the total maximum service time from 12 years to 16 years. The board will continue to consist of 5 members: 2 master electricians, 1 journeyman electrician, and 2 public members, all appointed by the governor with council approval. The state fire marshal will remain an ex officio (non-voting) member. The bill maintains the requirement that board members' terms be staggered to prevent simultaneous appointments, and provides that members can continue to serve if their term expires while awaiting a new appointment. The changes will take effect 60 days after the bill's passage, which could provide more flexibility in board membership and potentially help retain experienced members.
