Pennsylvania’s SB 1260 has been signed into law, establishing statewide licensing for electrical contractors and electricians.
I see this as a positive step toward more consistent standards. In areas without licensing requirements, it can feel like the Wild West, and customers may not know what qualifications to look for.
I’d also like to hear the other side. Could statewide licensing bring added costs or make it harder for small contractors and people entering the trade?
If you work in the electrical industry, are you licensed in your state? What do you see as the biggest benefits and drawbacks?
