House Bill No. 2084 amends the continuing education requirements for contractors, journeymen, and apprentices in Oklahoma. Effective January 1, 2026, contractors and journeymen must complete twelve hours of continuing education every three years to renew their licenses, with provisions for education completed during an expired license period to count towards this requirement. Additionally, apprentices must complete three hours of continuing education annually to re-register, with similar allowances for education completed during an expired registration. The bill also stipulates that all continuing education courses and instructors must be approved by the Committee of Electrical Examiners, with exceptions for emergencies.
The bill further mandates that the Construction Industries Board amend its rules to align with the new provisions of the Electrical License Act. The effective date for this act is set for November 1, 2025. The changes aim to enhance the qualifications and knowledge of professionals in the electrical industry, ensuring they remain updated on codes, safety regulations, and industry practices.
