Hello folks,
I have passed my California General Journetman Electrician exam.
I feel good.

The deadline is January 1,2005 to get the certification, What happens if employees do not have the certification?
Anybody know?

Thanks

Congratulations Edward.
As far as what happens after January 1st... well nothing really. There is no enforcement in place. It is going to be up to scrupulous employers to follow the law. My employer has made it clear that anyone without a license at that time will not work here regardless of enforcement. The local unions around here will not dispatch without it. (Until someone challenges it whether the union has the right to deny a referral on those grounds.) As for the merit shops, it will be up to each individual employer as to weather they want to comply with the law. As it stands now, there is nobody willing to take the responsibility to police the job sites.

Good job Edward!!!!!!

Edward-

The eligibility requirements state that for the general exam (the biggie) you need 8000 hours OR a certified apprenticeship.

Do you recall whether you had the hours or the apprenticeship?

I have been a C-10 Contractor since 1999. So that automaticly qualified me. I know i did not have to take the exam,I just took it to see where i stand.

I'm sitting on book 1 up in Seattle and book 2 down in modesto and LA. I need to take the california exam soon and was wondering if they test on a state code in addition to the NEC like they do in washington.=andrew

Strictly the '99 NEC

FYI: Local 11 has been getting into book 4 regularly lately. [Linked Image]

I took the California C-10 two years ago as an RME. Does anyone know if i need to take the JW test to work with the tools in CA.?
