HB101 would exempt electrical contractors who held a valid Alabama license on or before June 30, 2010 from having to take a renewal exam.

What This Bill Does

It amends Section 34-36-16 to allow those specific older license holders to renew without an exam. The change takes effect immediately after the bill is signed into law. It also preserves existing rules that, after December 31, 2011, unlicensed individuals cannot perform tasks that require a licensed electrical contractor, with certain exemptions for those who recently took an exam or hold a local license within their jurisdiction.

Who It Affects

• Electrical contractors with a valid license issued by the Alabama Board of Electrical Contractors on or before June 30, 2010: will not be required to take any examination to renew their license.
• The Alabama Board of Electrical Contractors and its licensing process: will implement and administer this renewal-exam exemption as part of the state licensing rules, effective immediately after enactment.

Key Provisions

• Section 34-36-16(d): a holder of a valid electrical contractor license issued on or before June 30, 2010 shall not be required to take any examination to renew the license.
• Section 1 (b)-(c)-(d) clarifies ongoing prohibitions on unlicensed individuals performing licensed tasks after December 31, 2011, with exemptions for those who have recently taken an exam or hold local licenses within the issuing jurisdiction.
