1325.12 ELECTRICIAN'S LICENSE.

   (a)    No individual shall install, alter or repair, within the City limits, any electrical wiring, devices or equipment for which a permit is required by this Code, unless such individual is the holder of a Class B license, employed under the direct supervision of the holder of an OCIEB State Electrical License or a Class A residential electrical contractor’s license issued by the City and has registered with the City in accordance with Chapter 1333. Application for a B License must be made in writing on forms provided by the Electrical License and Examining Board stating the name, experience and qualifications of the applicant. Upon such applicant’s passing an examination prescribed by the Board with a grade of seventy-five percent (75%) or more, a license shall be granted to the individual applying for same, and his license shall grant to the individual the right to execute the work of installing, altering or repairing within the limits of Mansfield any electrical wiring, devices or equipment for which a permit is required.

   Class B licenses shall be issued by the Board upon successful completion of an examination therefor. Qualifications and prerequisites for a Class B license shall be determined by the Board.

   (b)   No provision of this Code shall be interpreted so as to require an apprentice electrician to be the holder of a license, take an examination or pay any fee before engaging in his trade during the first four years of his apprenticeship, provided he is employed under the direct supervision of a licensed electrician. Electrical contractors shall register the names of all apprentice employees with the Bureau of Buildings, Inspections, Licenses and Permits.
