My words exactly! Journeymen are not a requirement in FL.

apparently there is a techer at abci in coconut creek, fl telling students that the rule is coming back.

This rule in one form or another keeps popping up in just about every legislative session and at nearly every DBPR-ECLB meeting.

At this point in time, there is more lobby and support AGAINST mandating journeyman licensing requirements than there is in support of the rule. (Mainly home builder associations and contractor groups) Until that changes, it will never make it past the proposal stage.

A little slow on the posting, but I think we missed this:

REGULATION OF PROFESSIONS AND OCCUPATIONS

489.537 Application of this part.

(3) Nothing in this act limits the power of a municipality or county:

(f) To require that one electrical journeyman, who is a graduate of the Institute of Applied Technology in Construction Excellence or licensed pursuant to s. 489.5335, be present on an industrial or commercial new construction site with a facility of 50,000 gross square feet or more when electrical work in excess of 77 volts is being performed in order to supervise or perform such work, except as provided in s. 489.503.

Not much, but not dead...:smile:
