A BILL FOR

An Act relating to supervision of electrical wiring performed by apprentice electricians or unclassified persons. 
BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF THE STATE OF IOWA:

    Section 1.  Section 103.15, subsection 4, Code 2015, is amended to read as follows:
   4.  For purposes of this section, “the direct personal on-the-job supervision and control and in the immediate presence of a licensee” shall mean the licensee and the apprentice electrician or unclassified person shall be working at the same project location for a minimum of twenty-five percent of each day’s work period but shall not require that the licensee and apprentice electrician or unclassified person be within sight of one another at all times during that entire period of time.
EXPLANATION
The inclusion of this explanation does not constitute agreement with

the explanation’s substance by the members of the general assembly.
   Under current Code section 103.15, subsection 3, an apprentice electrician or unclassified person is required to be in the presence of a licensed electrician at all times to perform electrical wiring. This bill amends the definition of “the direct personal on-the-job supervision and control and in the immediate presence of a licensee” to require the licensed electrician to be present for a minimum of 25 percent of each day’s work period for the apprentice electrician or unclassified person to perform electrical wiring.
