A CONCURRENT RESOLUTION to establish an interim study
committee to study licensing of electricians and electrical contractors.
Whereas, no uniform and statewide licensing program currently
exists for electrical contractors and electricians, so that electrical
contractors and electricians working in more than one jurisdiction in
Indiana are required to obtain and maintain multiple licenses, which
increases their costs of doing business;
Whereas, questions exist as to which industry segments and types
of work should be included in a statewide licensing program, and how
any program should be structured, governed and enforced; and
Whereas, because some county and local governments currently
license or certify electrical contractors and electricians, the
development of a statewide licensing program should consider and
resolve any conflicts that exist between local licensing and statewide
licensing: Therefore,
SECTION 1. That the Legislative Council is urged to establish an
interim study committee to:
(1) conduct a comprehensive study of the statewide licensing of
electricians and electrical contractors; and
(2) report to the Legislative Council, before November 1, 2005, the
results of the study, including proposed legislation, if the report
includes a finding that recommends statewide licensing of electricians
and electrical contractors.
