Massachusetts S223 clarifies homeowners' rights to perform electrical work on their own property.
Massachusetts S223 amends the General Laws to clarify that homeowners can perform electrical work on their own primary residence, which is a single-family house, without needing a permit. The bill removes the requirement for homeowners to be "for hire" when performing electrical work on their own property. It also ensures that the inspector of wires cannot reject a permit application from a homeowner who is not a certified electrician, provided the property is their primary residence and is a single-family house.
