I posted part of the first page of the article here, and I am interested in hearing some of your comments as they relate to the opening statement about electrical installations by non electricians.

Electrical Problem-Solvers

When it comes to wiring, these tools and products can save you time and money

by Patrick McCombe

Although some municipalities prohibit general contractors from doing electrical work, in other locations it’s perfectly legal for remodelers and handyman types to wire a kitchen, run a new circuit, or swap a fixture. And while some contractors are just fine leaving those jobs to an electrician, others can handle basic wiring with confidence and skill. If you count yourself among the latter group, check out this collection of tools and products designed to make electrical work easier. Even if you aren’t likely to use the devices yourself, it doesn’t hurt to know what to suggest when your electrician’s in the dark.

It is unlikely anyone here is going to object to some government agency restricting competition in the electrical field, if that is what you are trying to get at.
