Bill Summary
Relative to the performance of electrical work by single family homeowners. Consumer Protection and Professional Licensure.
AI Summary
This bill aims to clarify the homeowners' right to perform electrical work on their own single-family homes. It proposes to amend the existing law by removing the phrase "for hire" from two paragraphs, which would expand the exemption from requiring a licensed electrician to include homeowners performing electrical work on their primary residence, even if they are not certified electricians. The bill also specifies that the inspector of wires cannot reject a permit application from such a homeowner, as long as the property is the applicant's primary residence, they own the property, and it is a single-family house.
