Bill > LB725

This bill amends the State Electrical Act by redefining various terms and updating provisions related to electrical licenses, fees, and inspections. Key changes include clarifying the scope of "power limited systems" for Class B electrical contractors and journeymen, expanding the definition of fire alarm installers to include components from the first point of overcurrent, and specifying that residential journeyman electricians can work on dwellings up to four-family units. The bill also adjusts requirements for directional boring or knifing contractors, allowing them to install underground conduit or conductors under the supervision of licensed electricians and requiring that only registered apprentices or licensed electricians perform such work. Additionally, it modifies fee structures for inspections and license renewals, and clarifies the supervision requirements for apprentice electricians, stating that the licensee and apprentice must be at the same project location but not necessarily within sight of each other at all times. Finally, the bill repeals the original sections of the State Electrical Act that are being amended.
