enforcement will be impossible
enforcement will be impossible
It's a great concept but impossible to enforce. We have a licensing requirement in California that just came into effect a few years ago. That hasn't stopped any "wana be" electricians from advertising and doing electrical work. As far as requiring all electrical work to be permited is another for the wish list. All of the local jurisdictions both city and state can't/won't do much if anything about this. I can't get an inspector to get up into an attic to check anything that I've done, when remodeling an existing home. The CSLB spends money on doing a few "stings" every year or so after a big disaster, but not much else. The homeowner wants everything done cheap, which opens the door for problems. One homeowner asked if I was a licensed contractor, he looked unhappy when I told him I was and presented my pocket license. I'm surprised more homes don't burst into flames with the work that gets done, they all subscribe to the logic "if the switch works it's good".
