The Iowa General Assembly has enacted legislation (Iowa Code Chapter 103) which establishes a statewide licensing program for electricians and electrical contractors. The program was established in the Fire Marshal Division of the Iowa Department of Public Safety, and will be overseen by a new Electrical Examining Board. Click here to view pdf version.

The provisions of the law which require state licensing of electricians and electrical contractors take effect on January 1, 2008. Enforcement of these provisions will commence after the administrative rules have been adopted by the Board, the licensing program has been established, and electrical contractors and electricians have the opportunity to apply for and obtain their licenses.

The establishment of any new regulatory or licensing program results in many questions. We will try the best we can to provide the information you need, but we ask for your patience, as there are many decisions which will be made by the Electrical Examining Board. Questions should be directed to the Fire Marshal Division by phone at (515) 725-6147 or by e-mail to elecinfo@dps.state.ia.us.
