This legislation addresses a number of different portions of Idaho electrical statutes: It creates the Idaho Electrical Code and adopts the 2023 version of the National Electric Code, with any previously accepted exclusions; creates a residential electrician license classification; defines what a residential electrical setting is; expands the scope of work for a journeyman electrician; expands who an electrical contractor may employ; limits the number of years a person can be an apprentice electrician; amends the electrical apprenticeship ratio; removes the continuing education requirement from apprentice electricians; increases the penalty for a violation of these statutes; affirms that the state of Idaho has the sole authority to establish apprenticeship ratios.
There is no anticipated fiscal impact to state or local governments associated with this legislation. IDOPL has sufficient staff and resources to implement the proposed changes in this bill.
