Is that an emergency issued license??

It's a Florida license. It's the same as a EC license but it is just good for one county.

In Florida maybe, but not here in CA. Here you would have to have a C-45.

Maybe YES, maybe NO. The qualifications and scope of work for an ER licensee are determined by the local authority. The installation of signs may be include within the scope of work in some jurisdictions and not in others.

The ECLB issued a DEC statement several years ago that indicated an EC (unlimited) contractor was indeed qualified to install signs, including the structural foundation and suport for signs.

As far as I can tell. The only three license classifications that are permitted to install signs are the EC, ET067. and ES067. The definition of the ET and ES license is below:

Sign Specialty Electrical Contractor. The scope of certification includes the structural fabrication including concrete foundation, erection, installation, alteration, repair, service and wiring of electrical signs and outline lighting. The scope of certification shall not include the provision of, or any electrical work beyond, the last disconnect mean or terminal points. However, a contractor certified under this section may provide the electrical entrance requirements for metering and main disconnect of remote billboards or signs which are independent of any structure or building and which require no more than twenty-five (25) kilowatts at two hundred fifty (250) volts maximum.

Keep in mind that an ER license allows the wiring to and electrical connection of ANY sign but not the installation or structural aspects of the sign installation.
