Are public entities required to have an electrical contractors license?
No. State law does not require a political subdivision (i.e. school district, municipality, etc) to hold an electrical or electrical sign contractor’s license to allow an employee to perform electrical work. These public entities are not required to have a contractor’s license because they do not contract with the public; however, the employees performing electrical work are still required to work under the general supervision of a master electrician.
