in Missouri, we have to obtain a different license in each jurisdiction that we work in. I have for years paid renewal fees for my license in Springfield and Jefferson City. Columbia has yet to charge for a renewal but I am sure it is coming. It gets expensive as some of you already know.
I have just today been informed of a law on the books in Missouri that may allow us to carry one license that is valid in all jurisdictions.
Missouri Revised Statutes Chapter 67 Section 67.275 states
Electrical contractor licenses issued by political subdivisions valid in all political subdivisions.
67.275. 1. The holder of a current and active electrical contractor license issued by any political subdivision of this state, whose requirements are equal to or exceed the requirements for obtaining an electrical contractor license on August 28, 2004, in St. Louis County, shall be valid within any political subdivision of this state.
2. The provisions of this section shall not prohibit any political subdivision in this state from enforcing any code or law not contained herein, or to:
(1) Issue an electrical contractor license valid for that political subdivision, except for a person who holds a license as provided in subsection 1 of this section;
(2) Require a business license to perform electrical contracting work;
(3) Issue electrical contracting permits;
(4) Enforce codes of the political subdivision; or
(5) Inspect the work of a licensee.
3. Political subdivisions of this state that do not have the authority to issue or require electrical contractor licenses prior to August 28, 2004, shall not be granted such authority under the provisions of this section.

In 2004, St. Louis county only required that you meet their hours requirements before taking the test and receive a passing score. Has anyone else used this law to pull permits in one place while being licensed in another.
