   Any person seeking to engage in the business of electrical contractor shall apply to the commissioner for a certificate of registration authorizing such person to engage in the business of electrical contractor. Upon receipt of a completed application in proper form and the registration fee provided for in Section 4-290-050, the commissioner shall register the applicant as an electrical contractor if the commissioner determines that the applicant is in compliance with all applicable requirements of this Code. Upon registration, the commissioner shall issue to the applicant a certificate of registration authorizing the applicant, during the period for which the registration is valid, to: (1) engage in the business of electrical contractor; and (2) secure permits under the electrical regulations of this Code. Provided, however, that no certificate of registration shall be issued to any applicant unless such applicant is in compliance with Chapter 4-292, and the certificate shall state the name of the supervising electrician appointed or employed by the applicant. Such certificate shall not be transferable.
   Eligibility for issuance of any registration under this chapter shall be a continuing requirement for maintaining such registration.
(Added Coun. J. 9-6-17, p. 55278, Art. IV, § 7)

   It is a condition of the registration that the electrical contractor shall notify the commissioner of any change in company name, company address, or company ownership within 30 days, or change in supervising electrician within 5 days, by filing an amended registration application with the commissioner. A fee, as set forth in rules duly promulgated by the commissioner, shall be assessed in connection with the submission of any amended registration application.
