Where a Nebraska master electrician license transfers

Nebraska's highest person-held electrical license is the Electrical Contractor license, issued by the State Electrical Division to an individual who has at least one year of experience as a licensed journeyman electrician (or a four-year electrical engineering degree plus one year as a journeyman) and passes the PSI-administered contractor exam. Nebraska stopped issuing new Class A Master Electrician licenses in 1993; the master, Class B contractor and Class B journeyman fees in Neb. Rev. Stat. § 81-2118(4) apply only to renewals of licenses issued before September 9, 1993, so this site maps the Electrical Contractor license to the master level. The application fee is $180 and the license fee is $187.50 per year of the two-year term ($187.50 when issued in an even-numbered year, $375 in an odd-numbered year); licenses expire December 31 of even-numbered years. A contractor who owns and operates an electrical contracting firm must keep in force the liability insurance required by Board Rule 7 ($100,000 per person, $300,000 per accident, $100,000 property damage). The Division's Electrical Contractor and Reciprocal Information pages list reciprocal Electrical Contractor agreements with Iowa, Minnesota, South Dakota and Texas.
