STATEMENT OF PURPOSE RS 11863 This legislation deletes the requirement for an apprentice to wait until 4 years have elapsed to apply for a journeyman license. An apprentice may apply after proof of completion of the prescribed education training, (144 hours classroom training per year for 4 years, and at least 2000 hours of on the job training each year for four years.) The change in master electrician license allows the board to consider past license performance prior to issue of a master electrician license.
