summary

This Part makes corrections to resolve conflicts and inconsistencies created by Public Law 2011, chapter 286 and Public Law 2011, chapter 406. Both chapters amended statutes concerning the licensing of electricians. Chapter 406 repealed the requirement that electrical companies be licensed as entities. This Part amends provisions in the electrician licensing laws to be consistent with that repeal by eliminating references to violations by firms and corporations. The requirements that apply to the different licenses for electricians are not affected.
