LD545

An Act to Exempt a Person Making Electrical Installations in the Person's Existing Bona Fide Personal Abode from Licensing and Permitting Requirements

Complete·5/21/25

Maine LD545 exempts individuals from licensing and permitting requirements for electrical installations in their existing personal abodes.

Maine LD545 amends the Maine Revised Statutes to reinstate an exception allowing individuals to make electrical installations in their existing single-family residences without obtaining a license or permit from the Electricians' Examining Board. This change corrects an oversight from a previous law, Public Law 2017, chapter 198, which inadvertently omitted this exception. The electrical work must conform to the National Electrical Code or other standards approved by the board.
