This bill amends the State Electrical Act by updating the provisions related to license and registration renewals, as well as penalties for violations. Specifically, it establishes that all licenses or registrations will expire on December 31 of each even-numbered year and allows holders of expired licenses to renew them from October 1 through November 31 of even-numbered years, with an additional late renewal period from December 1 through December 31. The bill also modifies the penalty for certain violations from a Class I misdemeanor to a Class IV felony, which includes making false statements in applications, performing electrical work without a proper license, and failing to comply with inspection requests.

Additionally, the bill clarifies that individuals are not prohibited from performing electrical work for certain family members without a license. The original sections of the law being amended are repealed, ensuring that the new provisions take effect. Overall, the changes aim to streamline the renewal process for electrical licenses and increase accountability for violations of the State Electrical Act.
