AI Summary

This bill clarifies that an inspector of wires, a local official responsible for overseeing electrical safety, cannot reject a permit application for electrical work if the applicant is not a certified electrician, as long as the property is the applicant's primary residence, they own it, and it's a single-family home. This provision aims to protect homeowners' rights to perform electrical work on their own residences without being unfairly denied permits based solely on their lack of professional certification.
