NEMA Code Alert: Iowa, 04 January 2011

Image1January 2011. NEMA reports that there is an attack underway in the State of Iowa Legislature that will repeal the Electrical Licensing Laws in the State. If this attack is successful, it will have a profound effect on the State’s ability to mandate that electricians in Iowa are properly trained and qualified to perform safe electrical installations.  

Below is the proposed bill to repeal the State Electrical Licensing.

Please contact the following Legislators:

  • Seems to me that this is applying to alarm systems too. Different accross the country, but where I live under 90 volts is open to anyone. Seems a bit high, but thats the way it reads. I can't see requiring licensing for low volt alarms, data, telephone, CATV, thermostat and all of the other systems that are being installed these days.

    If these people don't know what they are doing then the system won't work, but it won't likely be hazardous.
