The bill amends Section 37-68-315 of the Montana Code Annotated to clarify who has the authority to request the presentation of an electrician's license at a job site. The revised language specifies that a building code compliance inspector, an employee of the department, or a person who is professionally responsible for a job site can ask for the license. The previous language that included employees of private or public employment agencies and labor unions has been deleted. Additionally, the requirement for the building code compliance inspector to be licensed in the state has been replaced with a compliance reference to a specific statute.

Furthermore, the bill maintains the provision that if a person performing electrical work cannot present their license upon request, the requesting individual may report the incident to the board or department. It also allows department employees to issue citations and collect fines from individuals who fail to display their electrician's license when requested. Overall, the amendments aim to streamline the process of verifying electrician licensing at job sites while ensuring compliance with state regulations.
