statutes concerning the licensing of electricians. Chapter 406 repealed the requirement 
that electrical companies be licensed as entities. This Part amends provisions in the 
electrician licensing laws to be consistent with that repeal by eliminating references to 
violations by finns and corporations. 
The requirements that apply to the different 
licenses for electricians are not affected.
