LD1833 - Electrician Ratios

(2012)

An Act To Encourage Enrollment in High School Electrical Education Programs

Sponsored by Sponsored by: Rep. Andre Cushing (R – Hampden)

What is the bill?

LD 1833 doubles the ratio of electricians helpers that may work under a journeyman or master electrician from one to two. The electrical industry is strictly regulated and the one to one ratio is common throughout our region for very good reason – electricity can be very dangerous when not properly installed or understood. This bill will undermine safety in the electrical industry. It will also drive down wages in the field.
