Licensing |
This proposed legislation would broaden the definition of electrical work to include the installation of information transport systems. It establishes requirements for the licensure of contractors and technicians involved in the information transport industry, and the permitting and inspection of installations. Information transport systems include communication systems which include an electronic and/or structured cabling component beyond the utility service point. Typically these systems include telephone, audiovisual, sound, public address, intercom, radio/television, antenna systems, and data communications systems. The legislation also expands the electrical board to include a seat dedicated to a representative from this industry. |
