Indianapolis-Marion County Revised Code tit. IV, ch. 875, art. II
in effect

Indianapolis-Marion County Revised Code § 875-201 License required.

Sec. 875-201. - License required. Licensure as an electrical contractor is required to accomplish the connection of electrical power for on-site construction, to install, alter, replace, service or repair a system distributing electrical power, to service equipment supplying power to factory-constructed dwellings located in a mobile home park and to install, modernize, replace, service or repair all or any part of an electrical power distribution system. An electrical contractor shall also be entitled to install, modernize, replace, service or repair space heating equipment or space cooling equipment using electricity as its primary source of energy, excluding work on any refrigerant cycle. Construction which this article allows licensed electrical contractors to carry out is hereafter referred to in this article as "electrical work." A person not licensed under this article who is employed by a licensed electrical contractor may, however, accomplish electrical work while working under the direction and control of a person who is a licensed electrical contractor, but shall not otherwise enter into or offer to enter into a contractual relationship to engage in the electrical work. A person not licensed under this article may, however, accomplish electrical work in carrying out ordinary maintenance and repair if such work is accomplished by the person in the regular course of his sole, full-time employment by the owner of the premises where such ordinary maintenance and repair occurs.

(a) Before a license is issued by the division of construction and business services to any person, partnership or corporation, the license administrator shall require the applicant to file a surety bond in the amount of ten thousand dollars ($10,000.00). Such a bond shall be maintained in full force and effect for the full period of the license. The bond shall set forth the name, phone number and address of the agent representing the bonding company and shall be: (1) Issued by a surety authorized to do business in Indiana; (2) Payable to the Consolidated City of Indianapolis or an unknown third party as obligee; and (3) Conditioned upon: a. Compliance with requirements set forth in this chapter that must be met to retain licensure; b. Prompt payment of all fees owed the consolidated city as set forth in this chapter; c. Prompt payment to the Consolidated City of Indianapolis for any loss or expense for damages to property of the Consolidated City of Indianapolis caused by any action of the contractor, his or her agents, employees, principals, subcontractors, materialmen or suppliers in violation of building standards and procedures while engaged in any electrical work or any related construction; and d. Prompt payment to a person, partnership or corporation that is an unknown third party obligee for any: 1. Losses arising out of violations; 2. Expenses necessary to correct violations; and 3. Court costs and attorney fees allowed by the court incurred in connection with the commencement and prosecution of a court action to recover such losses and expenses for violations of building standards and procedures caused by any action of the contractor, his or her agents, employees, principals, subcontractors, materialmen or suppliers while engaged in electrical work or any related construction. However, the surety is not responsible under the bond for losses or expenses arising out of negligent conduct or improper workmanship unless such conduct or workmanship violates requirements of building standards and procedures. (b) The license administrator may accept in lieu of the surety bond a properly conditioned irrevocable letter of credit in the amount of ten thousand dollars ($10,000.00) if the controller approves the obligor financial institution as being financially responsible and if the corporation counsel approves the letter of credit as affording the same protections to the City of Indianapolis and an unknown third party as the protections afforded by the surety bond. (c) The obligation of the surety financial institution relative to this bond or letter of credit is limited to ten thousand dollars ($10,000.00). A surety or financial institution may pay on the bond or disburse from the letter of credit to pay a claim in full at any time when that claim and pending claims (reflected by written notice to the surety or financial institution) together do not exceed the unpaid penalty of the bond or the undisbursed balance of the letter of credit. If written notice is received of claims that exceed the unpaid penalty of the bond or undisbursed balance of the letter of credit, the surety or financial institution shall pro-rate payment according to the amount of such claims.

Indianapolis-Marion County Revised Code § 875-225 Hearing and appeal.

Sec. 875-225. - Hearing and appeal. (a) The date and place for a revocation or suspension hearing shall be fixed by the board. At least ten (10) days before such date, a written notice of the general nature of the charges, prepared by the division of construction and business services, and of the time and place of the hearing thereon shall be served upon the licensee, either by hand delivery to the charged licensed person or to a partner of a charged partnership or officer of a charged corporation, or by certified mail with return receipt requested addressed to the licensee at his or her main place of business as shown by the licensee's application for license or license renewal. The ten (10) or more days shall run from the date such notice is mailed. In the instance where charges are made that have a similar factual basis and a business relationship exists (as, for example, charges against two (2) licensed partners or charges against a licensed corporation and its licensed corporate officer), the board may hear evidence relative to two (2) or more charges at the same hearing. (b) The licensee may appear in person or by counsel, produce evidence (including testimonial and documentary evidence), make argument and cross-examine witnesses at such hearing. The division of construction and business services shall have the same right. The board may cause or allow any other relevant evidence to be introduced. On the basis of evidence presented at the hearing, the board shall make findings and enter an order in accordance with such findings, which shall not become effective until ten (10) days after notice and a copy thereof has been served upon the licensee, in the manner required for notice of the hearing. (c) On or before ten (10) days after service of such order, the licensee may appeal therefrom to the deputy director of the department of business and neighborhood services, division of construction and business services, by serving a notice of appeal upon the deputy director either in person or by filing it at his or her office, with a copy thereof delivered to the board at the office of the license administrator , who shall deliver such copy to the board. Unless such appeal is so taken, the order of the board shall be final. (d) If so appealed, the order of the board shall be stayed until the appeal is heard and determined by the deputy director or a representative designated in writing (but not an employee of the division of construction and business services) by the deputy director, under the procedure prescribed by statute for hearings on the suspension or revocation of licenses. The deputy director or his or her representative shall thereupon render such decisions as he or she finds justified and sustained by the evidence, either affirming, reversing or modifying the terms of the order of the board. The order of the deputy director or his or her representative shall be final and conclusive and be binding upon both the licensee and the board.
