I heard all contractors are going to be required to be state licensed starting July.
 
I don't think this applies to commercial or industrial contractors... only those dealing with homeowners.

Got to show insurance, register with state, use contracts that state specific work to be performed, beginning and ending dates, cost... .

Non compliance = felony.

I tried to touch on this subject with a bit of humor, but it is really a serious issue, for many years a small group has suppressed any moves for anyone trying to bring the state electrical contractors up to a professional level.
