(A) Any person, firm, corporation or independent contractor desiring to engage in electrical work within the county is required to first pass an examination as required by the Board of Examiners concerning their ability, experience, training and fitness to engage in the line of work. Licenses shall be issued without examination to applicants who shall have been actively and continuously engaged in the actual pursuit of the electrical trade for at least three years immediately preceding the date of adoption of this chapter, which facts shall be supported by affidavit of the applicant reciting the place or places and the approximate date or dates when and where the applicant has pursued the occupation during the three-year period.
(B) A current electrician’s license issued the applicant by any city in the state shall be prima facie evidence of the qualifications of the applicant to engage in the electrical business. If the person applying for a license is not qualified for a license, he or she shall employ a licensed electrician at all times to supervise any work done under the license. The electrician shall be responsible to the person employing him or her for compliance with this chapter and will be responsible to the county and to the owner or occupant of the property jointly with the employer for the compliance with all the provisions of this chapter.
