Grandfathering of Registered Electrical Contractor’s Licenses

House Bill 269, which passed during the 2013 legislative session, was approved by Governor Rick Scott on June 14, 2013. This bill will re-open and extend the time period for electrical, alarm, and specialty electrical contractors to request that their registered contractor’s license be grandfathered to a state wide certified contractor’s license. The time period requesting grandfathering of registered licenses has been extended until November 1, 2015. The re-opening of the grandfathering time period will take effect on July 1, 2013. Registered contractors may submit their application for grandfathering of their licenses beginning July 1, 2013.
