1 Be it enacted by the People of the State of Maine as follows:
2     Sec. 1. 32 MRSA §1202-B, sub-§4, ¶A, as enacted by PL 2023, c. 327, §2, is
3 amended to read:
4     A. A journeyman electrician may make electrical installations while employed by a
5     supervising master electrician, limited electrician or electrical company. A person
6     licensed under this subsection may supervise:
7(1) Two helper electricians who are enrolled in, or have completed, a 576-hour
8course of study as adopted by the board;
9(2) Two apprentice electricians; or
10(3) One Three helper electrician electricians.
11SUMMARY
12     This bill changes the number of helper electricians who may be supervised by a
13 journeyman electrician. Under current law, a journeyman electrician may supervise one
14 helper electrician or 2 helper electricians if they are enrolled in or have completed a certain
15 educational program. This bill eliminates this distinction and allows a journeyman
16 electrician to supervise 3 helper electricians.
