Requires continuing education for certain licensees relating to edition of National Electrical Code most recently adopted by Commissioner of Community Affairs.
This bill updates continuing education requirements for licensed electrical contractors, Class A journeyman electricians, and Class B wiremen in New Jersey. It mandates that these licensees complete specific training on the most recent edition of the National Electrical Code adopted by the state at the time of their license renewal. The legislation requires 10 hours of code-related study for contractors and 15 hours for journeyman electricians and wiremen, with the state's Commissioner of Community Affairs determining which code edition applies. The bill amends existing state laws to formalize these updated training standards for the upcoming triennial registration periods.
