Bill > H242

This bill aims to further regulate telecommunications systems contractors and technicians by amending existing laws related to electricians and their licensing. It introduces specific requirements for six appointees to a board, including individuals with extensive experience as master electricians, journeyman electricians, and importantly, new categories for "systems contractors" and "systems technicians" who specialize in fire warning, security, and telecommunications systems. The bill also defines key terms like "fire warning system," "inherently power limited system," "journeyman electrician," "master electrician," "security system," "system," "systems technician," and "telecommunications system" to clarify the scope of these professions. Additionally, it makes provisions for issuing restricted licenses for telecommunications systems work to individuals with at least three years of verifiable experience in the field, even if they don't meet all the requirements for a full license, and includes a repeal of a section of the act that takes effect on a specific date.
