This bill proposes to amend the Arizona Revised Statutes by adding a new article that establishes a certification process for electricians. The new definitions introduced include terms such as "Apprentice," "Approved apprenticeship program," "Electrical contractor," "Electrical worker," "Electrician," "Electronic systems technician," "Install," "Jobsite," "Sole proprietor," and "Trainee," which clarify the roles and requirements within the electrical trade. The bill mandates that individuals must hold an active commercial electrical worker certification to work with electrical wiring for licensed electrical contractors, and it outlines the process for obtaining this certification, including the necessary qualifications and examinations.

Additionally, the bill specifies the responsibilities of the registrar in issuing certifications, conducting examinations, and enforcing compliance with the new regulations. It establishes classifications for certification, including commercial electrical worker, apprentice commercial electrical worker, and trainee commercial electrical worker. The bill also sets forth renewal requirements for the certification, including continuing education and work experience, and introduces penalties for non-compliance, such as a civil penalty for failing to display the certification on job sites. Overall, the bill aims to enhance the regulation and standardization of the electrical workforce in Arizona.
