Amends existing law to provide for constant on-the-job supervision and training of apprentice electricians and provisional journeyman electricians.

Apprenticeships are an integral part of workforce development. Electrical apprenticeships provide critical on-the-job training to the apprentice and ensure the quality of the next generation of journeymen electricians. Proper supervision of apprentices is key to on-the-job safety. The Electrical Board, after considering input from the electrical industry, established journeymen-to-apprentice ratios of 1:2 in commercial and industrial work and 1:4 in residential work. To meet the needs of the electrical industry and protect public safety, this bill adopts the journeyman-to-apprentice ratio of IDAPA 24.39.10.09(a).
