(PRWEB) January 27, 2005 -- Last year, House Bill 1487 required Texas
electricians to become licensed. More than 80,000 electrical contractors and
related professionals rushed to comply with the law. This year, thousands of
these electricians must, for the first time, take courses to renew their
licenses.
Industry response to the licensing requirement exceeded
projections set by the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR),
which expected 60,000 to 80,000 electricians, would apply for a state license.
TDLR reported that 84,974 licenses have been issued as of January 11, 2005.
“Because the licensing program is new, many Texas electricians may not realize
that they must meet renewal requirements this year,” said Victoria Zambito, Vice
President of Research and Development for RedVector.com, Inc. “For many busy
electricians, meeting these requirements online through RedVector.com could save
time and money.”
The Texas law states: “Each licensee must complete 4 hours
of continuing education annually and prior to their renewal date.” RedVector.com
has been approved by the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (Provider
Registration #1041) to train electricians.
