I'm from Pennsylvania where anyone with a screwdriver can do electrical work.
The state of PA does not require electricians or contractors to be licensed. Some cities such as Pittsburgh, do require city licenses.And you can get a license by joining the IBEW of course...
From what I understand, a homeowner or property owner is not even allowed to do any type of electrical work even on thier own property in Pittsburgh.
I believe there there should be some type of licensing required for all contractors.
I'm just curious about what everyone thinks and if anyone has ever been involved in getting the ball rolling on state mandated licensing. And, what are the licensing requirements in your area.
