If I'm reading this right, F.S. 489.5335 States that a valid Journeyman Electrician License issued by any city or county in Florida with a passing grade of 75% is good anywhere in the State of Florida and no other city or county in Florida can require you take an additional exam to obtain a license. Is that correct...? Has anyone tested this with other counties.....? I know years ago the bigger counties , like Broward and Dade use to scoff at other counties licenses....
