Massachusetts just created a new Electrical Business License...called the A-1 Business License (now there a 3 licenses in Mass)
The A-1 gets issued/attached to an Electrical Business properly registered with the Secretary of the Commonwealth as a Corporation or LLC...The Master Electrician (Gushud for example) must be an officer of the Corporation or an Owner/Manager of the LLC. (Gushud) Masters License goes on record at the BSEE as the Licensee of Record (LOR) for the electrical business. Now in MASS, a master electrician can be the LOR for multiple Electrical Businesses. The BSEE professes the Mr. LOR must "oversee" daily operations of said businesses.
Now...if the LOR (Mr. Gushud) wants to leave the Electrical Business...the A-1 license stays with the business...with the requirement (see CMR 237 16.00) the Electrical Business will get a new Master Electrician to be the LOR within 60-days.
This new license (A-1) should give (Mr. Gushud) another level of liability protection (if he truly oversees the operation) in that the A-1 license will be subject to discipline by the BSEE on a complaint in most cases. Also lawsuits will probable go after the Electrical Business.
Solar and these Plumbing businesses are 2 examples with needs for a Master Electrician to run a business in Mass...and the Master is frequently leaving that business. I would guess this turnover is related to the business doing things out of the control of the LOR and he/she says seeyalata.
Be careful Gushud. Don't let a sloppy business use your hard earned license recklessly and without fair compensation.
