AI Summary

This bill allows the Board of State Examiners of Electricians, which is the state agency responsible for overseeing electrician licenses, to create rules and regulations for a continuing education system for electricians, and importantly, this system can now include approved online courses in addition to traditional classroom-based courses. This means that electricians will need to complete these continuing education requirements, which can now be fulfilled partly or entirely through online learning, in order to renew their licenses. The bill also mandates that the Board will set up and enforce guidelines for organizations that want to offer approved continuing education courses, ensuring the quality and relevance of both online and in-person learning options.
