This bill expands the types of property where homeowners can install electrical wiring without a license—now including single-family homes they own and are building to live in, plus non-habitable structures like sheds or garages they own that aren't used for business. The bill keeps all the existing rules about licensing requirements, inspection fees, and penalties the same, but clarifies that the license exemption applies more broadly to different kinds of property a person owns.
