That is the whole problem is getting someone to back you up. Especially the state or in my case the county or even the city. We have illegals working everywhere doint "Their thing" taking jobs by under bidding them to the point where we legal contractors would not touch them, but if reported NOTHING is ever done about it.
Here for example, the homeowner can pull the permit, and its the biggest joke, an older lady in her 80s pulls a permit to do a 200 amp service and no one questions her as to the validity of her claim.
Recently our state went through a state licensing program where if you were previously State Certified you were automatically Licensed, However; They had a grandfather clause involved that if you could show training in the electrical field they could get there contractors' license, now we have Plumbers, pipefitters and HVACs licensed as Electrical Contractors, but one consulation is maybe now the plumber wont put the hot water heater so close to the Service panel.
