License - Application

Official statutory text

No person, firm or corporation shall engage in the business of

wiring, rewiring, installing, repairing or altering any electrical

wiring or installing or repairing any electrical apparatus,

appliance or fixtures of any kind or description within the limits

of any city, county or metropolitan area within the provision of

this act without securing from the joint electrical examining and

appeals board, herein authorized, a license. Any person desiring a

license shall file with the said board an application showing the

name of the person, firm or corporation in whose name said license

is to be issued, the kind of license applied for, the name of the

certificate holder under whose supervision work will be done, the

number and date of such certificate, and such further information as

may be required by the board. Said license shall bear the name of

the certificate holder on the face of the license. All applications

shall be signed by the applicant or a member of the firm or an

authorized officer of the corporation making the application, and

shall also be signed by the holder of the supporting certificate and

the certificate shall be attached to the application. The board, if

it finds said application is proper and in accordance with law,

shall approve said application and retain the certificate for its

file upon furnishing the applicant with a proper receipt therefor.

If said certificate is withdrawn by the owner thereof, said license

shall become inoperative and no further permits shall be issued by

the electrical inspector to such license. Such license may be

reinstated and rendered operative by the filing with the board of

another proper certificate of the joint electrical examining and

appeals board.

No certificate of competency holder shall be entitled to have

operative more than one license in any classification under this act

at any given time. The certificate of competency holder shall

notify the board immediately of any change affecting his certificate

or license. The holder of a certificate of competency must at all

times be directly associated with the licensee and be in a position

to control or supervise work performed by the firm licensed under

his certificate of competency. Continued or recurring absence from

the city, county or metropolitan area by the certificate holder

during times when jobs or work is being performed by the licensee

shall be deemed prima facie evidence that such certificate holder is

not exercising the control or supervision herein required.

In the event of the death of a certificate holder who has been

licensed as an individual, or in the event of the death, disability

or withdrawal of that person holding the certificate upon which a

license has been issued to a partnership or a corporation, the

estate of the deceased individual, the surviving partners or the

corporation, as the case may be, shall be permitted to complete all

work then in progress. The estate, the surviving partners or the

corporation shall have a one-hundred-twenty-day period within which

to affiliate another certificate holder if it desires to continue to

conduct business under the license then in effect. If such

affiliation occurs, the license shall remain valid and renewable; if

such affiliation does not occur, the license shall expire at the end

of the one-hundred-twenty-day period, and shall not authorize the

performance of any work other than uncompleted work which was in

progress at the time of the death, disability or withdrawal of the

certificate holder.
