This bill expands who can do their own electrical wiring without a license by allowing homeowners installing wiring in single-family homes under construction to skip the licensing requirement, as long as they own the property and plan to live there when it's finished. The change clarifies language in existing law and still requires inspection and fees for major electrical work like entrance installations over 60 amperes. Homeowners must still report this work or face misdemeanor charges.
