This bill amends Sections 54-1007 and 54-1014 of the Idaho Code, focusing on the licensing of electricians and the associated fees. A significant change is the provision that when a master electrician's license is issued, a journeyman electrician's license will also be granted to the individual at no additional cost and without further requirements beyond those needed for the master license. Additionally, the bill clarifies the qualifications for obtaining a journeyman electrician's license, allowing individuals with eight years of work experience to apply without needing to take an examination.
The bill also updates the fee structure for various electrical licenses and registrations. It specifies the fees for applications, renewals, and revivals of licenses, including a new fee structure for master and journeyman electrician licenses. The bill declares an emergency, stating that it will take effect on July 1, 2025, ensuring that these changes are implemented promptly.
