4-290-030 Application and issuance of license.
Any person seeking to engage in the business of electrical contractor shall apply to the Commissioner for a license authorizing such person to engage in the business of electrical contractor to the extent authorized under Section 4-290-035(b). The applicant for such license shall: (1) indicate on the application form whether a Class 1 or Class 2 electrical contractor license is being sought, and if applicable, whether any subclassification of license is being sought; (2) state the name of the supervising electrician appointed or employed by the applicant; and (3) provide any other information that the Commissioner may reasonably require in connection with the application for such license. Upon receipt of a completed application in proper form, and payment of the fee set forth in Section 4-290-050, the Commissioner shall license the applicant as an electrical contractor with the appropriate classification of license if the Commissioner determines that the applicant is in compliance with all applicable requirements of this Code. Upon licensure, the Commissioner shall issue to the applicant a license certificate, which shall: (1) indicate on its face the appropriate classification of license that the Commissioner has approved; and (2) authorize the applicant, during the period for which the license is valid, to: (A) engage in the business of electrical contractor to the extent authorized under Section 4-290-035(b); and (B) secure permits under the electrical regulations of this Code. Provided, however, that no license shall be issued to any applicant unless such applicant is in compliance with Chapter 4-292 of this Code. Such license shall not be transferable. Eligibility for issuance of any license under this chapter shall be a continuing requirement for maintaining such license. (Added Coun. J. 9-6-17, p. 55278, Art. IV, § 7; Amend Coun.
