There is a Journeyman Stage Electrician license that covers tie-ins, temporary circuit installation, installation and maintenance of temporary equipment, etc. Unfortunately, the apprenticeship/education program through IATSE isn't really doing much with it right now, which is (probably) why the education requirements listed on the licensing site below say that your training & experience must come from out of state. Due to the lack of training offered, there isn't a whole lot of enforcement being done on areas covered by the license. Hopefully, IATSE will revive the program soon as I'd very much be interested in getting said license without having to work 8,000 hours out of state.

There is also the ETCP Electrician certification, which probably covers just as much (if not more) of the requirements offered by the state program. Of course, this is offered by a trade group and not any AHJ or licensing body.
