69-PP - Licensed master electrician waiver.

 
    §  69-pp.  Licensed  master  electrician  waiver. 1. Any person who is
  licensed by any municipality as a master electrician and who engages  in
  the  business  of  installing, servicing or maintaining security or fire
  alarm  systems  within  such  municipality  shall  be  waived  from  the
  provisions of this article upon registration with the secretary of state
  in accordance with the provisions of this section.
    2.  Each  licensed  master electrician seeking a waiver shall register
  with the secretary of state on a form prescribed by the secretary.  Such
  form shall include at least: the individual's name and home address, the
  business's  name  and  address,  a listing of jurisdictions in which the
  master electrician is licensed, a listing  of  all  appropriate  license
  numbers   and  such  other  information  as  the  secretary  shall  deem
  necessary. No applicant for a waiver  shall  be  required  to  meet  the
  provisions of section sixty-nine-o of this article.
    3.  Any  waiver  shall  only  apply  for  engaging  in the business of
  installing, servicing or maintaining security or fire alarm  systems  in
  municipalities  where  such  master  electrician  is  licensed. However,
  should a licensed master electrician for any reason become unlicensed by
  any municipality, such master electrician shall immediately  inform  the
  secretary  of  state  of such action. The secretary of state may suspend
  any waiver granted upon the basis of the master electrician license.
    4. A master electrician who engages in  the  business  of  installing,
  servicing   or   maintaining   security   or   fire   alarm  systems  in
  municipalities where such master electrician is not duly licensed, shall
  be required to be licensed pursuant to this article.
    5. A master electrician who is licensed in any municipality within the
  state shall be deemed to have satisfied the requirements  of  paragraphs
  (b) and (c) of subdivision one of section sixty-nine-o of this article.
    6.  The fee for all waivers granted to any master electrician shall be
  established by the secretary of state and shall not exceed fifty dollars
  every two years. Provided, however, that any person licensed pursuant to
  this article prior to the effective date of this section shall be exempt
  from the waiver fee for periods prior to October first, nineteen hundred
  ninety-four. Such waiver shall be valid for a two  year  period  and  be
  renewable for two year periods thereafter.
    7.  Any  license  issued  by  any  municipality  establishing a master
  electrician license after July fifteenth, nineteen hundred  ninety-three
  shall  not  be  grounds for a waiver pursuant to this section unless the
  secretary determines that the  standards  for  such  master  electrician
  license are not lower than those of this article.
