Okla. Stat. tit. 59, § 59-1686.1

A. The Construction Industries Board is hereby authorized to

establish a license category for contractors who solely perform

poultry house premise wiring for environmentally controlled poultry

house systems, and the insured poultry house wiring to connect the

premise wiring, and who do not perform any wiring for a structure or

electrical facility that is not directly involved in the operation

of the environmentally controlled poultry house wiring system. In

addition to other statutory authority, the Construction Industries

Board shall have the power to exercise all incidental powers and

duties necessary to effectuate the provisions of the poultry house

contractor license, conduct investigations involving compliance with

the licensing requirements, and enforce the licensing provisions of

this section. However, the Construction Industries Board is not

authorized to conduct an electrical code inspection of an

environmentally controlled poultry house premise wiring system for

purposes of compliance with electrical code installation standards

established for the Electrical License Act or to issue

administrative citations or fines concerning electrical code

installation standards at an environmentally controlled poultry

house.

1. With a valid poultry house contractor license, no further

registration or license is required under this act in order to

solely perform poultry house wiring for environmentally controlled

poultry houses. This license allows contracting only for wiring of

environmentally controlled poultry house systems and is not intended

to disallow or exclude unlimited electrical contractors from

performing poultry house wiring work under an unlimited electrical

contractor license without a poultry house contractor license.

2. Experience under the poultry house contractor license shall

not be considered qualifying electrical experience for purposes of

experience requirements for application of any other electrical

license category pursuant to the Electrical License Act.

3. The Board may rely upon proof of a valid construction

license or registration issued by another state to expedite the

processing of the required information for a poultry house

contractor license; provided, the insurance and workers'

compensation requirements demonstrate compliance with the required

coverage for work performed in this state.

4. All licenses shall be nontransferable, and it shall be a

misdemeanor for any business entity holding a poultry house

contractor license under the provisions of the Electrical License

Oklahoma Statutes - Title 59. Professions and Occupations Page 1206

Act to loan or allow the use of such license by any other person,

firm or corporation, except as specifically provided in the

Electrical License Act or to engage in poultry house contractor

license work without a valid license pursuant to this act.

B. A nonrefundable fee in the amount of Three Hundred Dollars

($300.00) for the annual poultry house contractor license shall be

issued for one year, at which time it may be renewed upon meeting

the requirements of this section, making application, and paying the

nonrefundable license renewal fee in the amount of Two Hundred

Dollars ($200.00).
