(A) The City of Mount Pleasant may enter into a reciprocal electrician license agreement with other cities inside the State of Texas upon the recommendation of the Building Official. The Building Official shall prepare a form or agreement not inconsistent with the terms of this chapter. Such reciprocal electrical license agreement shall allow a master electrician or journeyman electrician with a currently valid license or certificate of registration from his or her home city to be registered by the City of Mount Pleasant, without being re-examined by the City of Mount Pleasant, if the following conditions are met:
(1) The license or certificate of registration was issued by the home city under regulations and examination at least as restrictive and demanding as those required by the City of Mount Pleasant, Texas, Electrical Code;
(2) The city with which a reciprocal electrician license agreement is contemplated must agree to grant reciprocal privileges to electricians whose home city is Mount Pleasant.
(B) A reciprocal license agreement may be canceled by either city for any reason upon a written notice to the opposite city by certified mail, with return receipt requested. Any electrician working in the City of Mount Pleasant, by virtue of a reciprocal license from another city, may otherwise qualify himself or herself in accordance with the requirements of the code of the City of Mount Pleasant. Electricians not so re-qualifying shall not be permitted to work in Mount Pleasant after a 180-day period. Notice of any such cancellation shall be sent by the Building Official of Mount Pleasant, by mail to individual electricians from the home city whose reciprocal agreement has been canceled.
(C) Persons from other home cities and from Mount Pleasant who request that a reciprocal electrician license agreement be established between the two cities shall be required to pay the expenses of the City of Mount Pleasant in establishing such an agreement. An initial administration fee of $50.00 shall accompany each such request.
(D) The Building Official of the City of Mount Pleasant shall keep accurate and current records of the names of all cities located within the State of Texas which have a reciprocal agreement with the city and of compliance by each such city with the provisions set out in this chapter regarding reciprocal electrician license agreements.
