(A) (1) The Inspection Authority shall permit electrical contractors lawfully licensed by other municipalities of the state to install, alter or repair electrical wiring, equipment, apparatus or fixtures for light, heat or power purposes within the corporate limits of the city, upon payment of a registration fee, provided that the municipalities reciprocate in recognizing electrical contractors who are duly licensed under the provisions hereof by granting them the same privilege and charging the same uniform license and registration fees.
(2) Provided further, that the licensing ordinances are substantially equal to the requirements hereof and have an Examining Board.
(B) Journeyman electricians duly licensed by any municipality cooperating in the reciprocal arrangement shall be permitted to work in the city without the payment of a registration fee; provided, however, that any journeyman electrician doing work within the city, and holding a license from a cooperating municipality, shall register with the city.
(C) No electrical contractors’ licenses shall be recognized, for the purpose of registration, by the city of applicants who maintain their principal place of business in a municipality which fails to approve, by affirmative action of its legislative body, the reciprocal and mutually interchangeable licensing arrangements covered hereby.
