Committee approves bill allowing residential electricians to wire three‑ and four‑plexes
Summary
Rep. Matt McGee told the committee HB 1316 would expand the residential electrician definition to include three‑ and four‑unit dwellings; after an amendment clarifying covered dwellings the committee voted to pass the bill.
Representative Matt McGee presented HB 1316, which amends restrictions on residential electricians so they may wire three‑ and four‑unit dwellings in the same manner as single‑family homes and duplexes. The sponsor said the bill preserves existing electrical standards and only removes a numerical restriction on dwelling types.
Committee members asked procedural questions and sought confirmation that the amendment clarifying dwelling types had been incorporated. After no members signed up in opposition, a motion to pass the bill was made, seconded and approved by the committee.
Next steps: HB 1316 was reported from committee as passed.
