(a)

Any person desiring to engage in the business of electrical contractor may apply for and be issued a license upon satisfying the board of electrical examiners and supervisors that he is either a master electrician or employs a master electrician as his superintendent or manager, and shall execute the bond provided in this article.

(b)

Before any person shall engage in the business of electrical contracting, the name, residence and place of business of such person shall be registered in a book to be kept for that purpose by the secretary of the board of electrical examiners and supervisors, a copy of which shall at all times be kept on file in the office of the office manager of the electric department. In such book shall also be recorded the name of the master electrician managing or supervising the business of such person as superintendent or manager and the date on which such person qualified as a master electrician under the terms and provisions of this article. Every removal of place of business or change in name of the organization or change in the licensed master electrician in charge of the business shall require immediate notice thereof to the secretary of the board, who shall make the proper changes in the record book required by this section. Every electrical contractor shall promptly report to the secretary of the board of the death, resignation or discharge of his or its master electrician; and if another master electrician is not secured within three days after the next succeeding examination held therefor by the board, the license of such contractor shall be suspended until a new licensed master electrician is employed.

(c)

No licensed master electrician can represent more than one firm at a time. The actual work shall be done by a qualified master or journeyman electrician.
