AI Summary

This bill, concerning mandatory continuing education for electricians, proposes to amend Chapter 141 of the General Laws to allow the Board of State Examiners of Electricians to establish rules and regulations for a continuing education system that includes approved online courses, in addition to traditional classroom-based courses. This means that electricians will be able to fulfill their continuing education requirements, which are necessary for renewing their licenses, by taking courses offered over the internet, provided these courses are approved by the Board. The bill also directs the Board to create and enforce guidelines for course providers who wish to have their continuing education programs listed as approved.
