"What type of licensing is there in Florida? Do you think they would allow contractors from other states to step in and help out without having to go through their licencing process because of the dire need?"http://www.mikeholt.com/statelicense.php#NC
maybe that will help

Re: 12-4 Romex with Dual Neutrals
Most states with licensing allow unlicensed people to work for somebody who has a master electrician license. Some states have a limit on how many apprentices and journeyman can work for a master electrician. In Massachusetts, there has to be a minimum of 1 master electrician on the job for every electrician who is not licensed as a master. Some other states have a looser limit such as 4 apprentices or journeyman for each master. Some states such as Ohio and North Carolina have no ( theoretical ) limit on the number of enployees who do not have a master electrician license.
To get an unlimited state license for Florida you have to have 2 years of management experience on million dollar and larger projects. You have to have 4 years of other electrical experience. If you do not have that you have to get a license from each county and city where you want to work.
Some states have rediculous requirements. Arizona requires $200,000 in bonding for residential work and you have to maintain an active bonding policy in force for 4 years AFTER ceasing to do business in Arizona. This effectively keeps electricians from leaving Arizona or moving there.
Also, if you owe money to IRS or have any other tax delinquency you cannot get a license from a lot of states, either direct denial or refusal of bonding companies to do business with you. If this is your problem you are allowed to help but only if you work for another electrician and you are not welcome to stay. That is, they do not want poor people from Up North to take their jobs unless they are desperate for help.

Re: 12-4 Romex with Dual Neutrals
A MA Journeyman can only have one apprentice working under them and can only run a one or two man shop.
We also work on some RI jobs that the ratio is 5 licenses for every apprentice. :roll:
Your close, a MA Master can have as many journeymen under them as they want and can run a business of any size.
