The State Board of Master Electricians issues one category of license, that
of Master Electrician. For many counties in the State, the Master
Electrician's license is a prerequisite to obtaining the county electrical
license. The Board does not investigate complaints; that function is the
responsibility of the county or local subdivision. The Board may take
disciplinary action against a person's State license, however, if the person
is reprimanded, or the person's license is suspended or revoked by the local
subdivision. |

PENNSYLVANIA
* Department of Labor and Industry The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania currently has no licensure or certification requirements for most construction contractors (or their employees). Some of Pennsylvania’s 2,565
municipalities have established local licensure or certification
requirements for contractors or construction trades people. Typically, these
requirements pertain to home improvement contractors, electrical contractors
(or electricians), and plumbing contractors (or plumbers). Since the
Commonwealth has no jurisdiction in this matter, the Department maintains no
records concerning municipalities that have established licensure or
certification requirements. This information can only be obtained by
contacting the municipality where construction work will occur. |
