Sec. 10-6. Electrical contractors—License and registration required;
examination; fee.
No person shall be licensed to make installations of electrical
systems for the general public or be engaged in the
electrical business, unless such person has been examined as
set forth below, and has had at least three years' apprenticeship
in the electrical trade, or, if a firm or corporation, unless
such firm or corporation has in its employ and in charge of its
electrical work a person who has been trained as aforesaid.
Any person about to engage in the electrical business or
the installation of electrical systems in the city shall first
be licensed as required by the license laws of the city. Before
such license shall be issued by the commissioner of revenue,
the applicant shall exhibit a certificate of registration, issued
by the city electrical board, which shall show that
such person has had at least three years' apprenticeship in the
electrical trade, has successfully passed a written examination
as to his knowledge of standard electrical practices based on
the provisions of this chapter and the current National Electrical
Code and has executed the bond required by section
10-7. Such certificate of registration shall be sufficient proof
that the applicant has been duly qualified to engage in the
electrical business as required by this chapter. A fee of ten
dollars shall be paid for such examination and the issuance of
the certificate, independent of the city license tax. The fee
shall be paid in advance of the examination. (Code 1959, §
10-6; 3-20-61.)
