LAWS OF MARYLAND

Ch. 731

EVERY 2 YEARS, TO ALL DULY QUALIFIED APPLICANTS WHO COMPLY WITH
THE PROVISIONS OF THIS SUBTITLE.

(C)  A LICENSEE MAY ASSIGN HIS LICENSE TO THE PERSON, FIRM,
OR CORPORATION BY WHOM HE IS PRINCIPALLY EMPLOYED, BUT A LICENSEE
MAY ONLY REPRESENT 1 PERSON, FIRM, OR CORPORATION. THE AUTHORITY
GRANTED BY A LICENSE TO THE LICENSEE MAY NOT BE TRANSFERABLE TO
ANOTHER PERSON. ANY CHANGE IN REPRESENTATION SHALL BE MADE BY
FORMAL APPLICATION, APPROVAL BY THE BOARD, AND PAYMENT OF AN
ADDITIONAL FEE.

(D)  A PERSON, FIRM, OR CORPORATION ENGAGING IN THE BUSINESS
OF ELECTRICAL CONTRACTING UNDER THIS SUBTITLE MAY NOT UNDERTAKE
TO DO ANY ELECTRICAL WORK WITHIN THIS STATE OR ANY POLITICAL
SUBDIVISION OF THIS STATE UNLESS THEY CARRY GENERAL LIABILITY
INSURANCE IN THE AMOUNT OF $100,000 AND PROPERTY DAMAGE INSURANCE
IN THE AMOUNT OF $300,000. PROOF OF INSURANCE SHALL BE SHOWN
PRIOR TO THE ISSUANCE OR THE RENEWAL OF A LICENSE. PROOF OF
GENERAL LIABILITY AND PROPERTY DAMAGE INSURANCE OBTAINED IN
COMPLIANCE WITH THIS SUBSECTION RELIEVES THE STATE LICENSE HOLDER
FROM FURNISHING A SEPARATE SURETY BOND IN ANY OTHER POLITICAL
SUBDIVISION WHICH REQUIRES ONE UNDER LOCAL ELECTRICAL LICENSING
REQUIREMENTS. NOTICE OF CANCELLATION OF GENERAL LIABILITY
INSURANCE OR PROPERTY DAMAGE INSURANCE SHALL BE FORWARDED TO THE
BOARD WITHIN 10 DAYS OF THE CANCELLATION DATE. INACTIVE LICENSE
HOLDERS ARE EXEMPT FROM THIS REQUIREMENT.

(E)  ANY CHANGE OF NAME, ADDRESS, OR EMPLOYMENT BY A
LICENSEE FROM THAT WHICH APPEARS ON THE CURRENT LICENSE MUST BE
REPORTED TO THE BOARD, IN WRITING, WITHIN 10 DAYS OF THE CHANGE.

(F)  LOCAL LICENSES SHALL BE ISSUED BY A SUBDIVISION TO A
MASTER ELECTRICIAN HOLDING AN ACTIVE LICENSE UNDER THIS SUBTITLE
WITHOUT EXAMINATION.

(1)  WHEN A MASTER ELECTRICIAN DESIRES TO ENGAGE IN
ELECTRICAL CONTRACTING IN ANY AREA OR POLITICAL SUBDIVISION OF
THIS STATE, THE LICENSEE SHALL ONLY EXHIBIT TO THE LOCAL BUILDING
OFFICIAL, PERMIT OFFICE, OR OTHER AUTHORIZED PERSON IN CHARGE OF
THE ISSUANCE OF LICENSES OR ELECTRICAL PERMITS IN THE AREA,
EVIDENCE OF A CURRENT STATEWIDE MASTER ELECTRICAL LICENSE OR OF A
QUALIFIED AGENT.

(2)  THE LOCAL JURISDICTION SHALL PROMPTLY ISSUE THE
STATEWIDE LICENSEE A LOCAL LICENSE TO ENGAGE IN ELECTRICAL
CONTRACTING ON PAYMENT OF ANY LICENSING FEE AS PRESCRIBED BY THE
LOCAL JURISDICTION.
