This subchapter does not apply to the following:
(A) An authorized employee of the United States, the State of Indiana, County of Lake, or any political subdivisions thereof, so long as the employee does not hold himself or herself out for hire and is acting within the scope of his or her employment;
(B) Public utilities, where construction, maintenance, and development work performed by their own employees and incidental to their business;
(C) The owner and occupant (in the case of a new single-family dwelling unit) when the owner-occupant is himself or herself alone constructing, installing, altering, remodeling, repairing or building the residential unit he or she occupies or will occupy. The term owner and occupant is intended to mean that the individual or individuals who enter into this endeavor will reside in the single-family dwelling unit they construct, install, alter, remodel, repair or build. This exclusion shall only be available after the owner and occupant files an application under § 151.080(A) through (S), the same as any business entity, except that the required written examination under this exclusion is not required. This exclusion shall not be available more than one time every seven years when applied to construction of a new residence. No license may be issued to an owner-occupant under this exclusion, but all other requirements under § 151.080, including a unified license bond, proper insurance and oral interview are required. If any owner-occupant determines they cannot alone themselves complete their construction, installation, alteration, remodel or repair, any additional business entity hired to complete any portion of the construction, installation, alteration, remodel or repair must hold a valid contractor's license as described under this chapter.
(D) Any construction, alteration, improvement, or repair of improvements located on any site and project where state and federal law supersedes this subchapter; and
(E) Any individual who is employed or acts as a maintenance person as that term is defined in this subchapter at his or her place of employment.
