Bill > H180

This bill clarifies that a homeowner who is not a certified electrician can still obtain a permit to perform electrical work on their own primary residence, as long as it is a single-family house, and the inspector of wires cannot reject the application based solely on the applicant's lack of certification. This change amends Section 3L of Chapter 143 of the General Laws, which previously had language that could be interpreted to restrict such work, by removing the phrase "for hire" and adding a new provision explicitly allowing homeowners to perform electrical work on their own homes under these specific conditions.
