Personally, I would have no issue with a provisional license, based on the fact that the “Contractor” is 100% responsible for the individuals work performance.
Nor I, as there are already a number of states that follow suit
Will giving a provisional license without passing a test be of any benefit to the people of Kentucky??? Can a person with the provisional license do work & get permits?? Is the ‘contractor’ In the article responsible for the work his “electricians’ perform?
Let's me put it this way, who would want to be under the knife of a surgeon ,who was granted license by a state because s/he couldn't pass a test?
How's about a lawyer that didn't pass the bar?
Many analogies could follow suit, the jist is here is the devaluing of labor cloaked in the guise of the current gestalt of deregulation
The backburn being a hornets nest of litigation due to substandard work on the horizon
classic 'wag the dog'......

An aside to this subject, I for one of us who busted his bun to work, study, take required classes, take and pass the tests, am NOT personally is favor of an ‘easy way’, even if it is disguised as a provisional, 1 year thing.
I feel that my opinion is shared by most/all of us who are ‘licensed’
We [i]all did HotOne.
And we forget, it was all those that came before us that
fought for those standards to exist.
The NFPA, IAEI, NEC, NECA, NEMA , IBEW did not form overnight.
they handed us a benchmark ,along with all it's bureaucratic bells and whistles.
no, they're not perfect, but not beyond reproach either.
So to have a trade rag, one that allegedly caters to the electrical trade openly and publicly advocate it all thrown under the bus is, sacrilege
