§ 236-b. County electrical inspector licensing. 1. Notwithstanding any   inconsistent  general, special, or local law to the contrary, the county   of Westchester is hereby authorized to establish  a  Westchester  county   board  of  examiners for electrical inspectors and to empower such board   to assume all licensing duties within the  county  of  Westchester  with   respect  to  the  licensure  of  electrical  inspectors.  The  county of   Westchester  shall  provide  for  electrical  inspectors'   duties   and   responsibilities  with  respect to applications for a license or renewal   in accordance with the local law of such county.  A  local  law  enacted   pursuant  to  this  section  establishing county licensure of electrical   inspectors shall provide standards for licensure which shall include, at   a minimum, a provision that no person shall obtain a license unless such   person shall have received training  in  the  inspection  of  electrical   components, equipment and systems used in buildings and structures which   is  at  least equivalent to the training in the inspection of electrical   components, equipment and  systems  used  in  buildings  and  structures   required  for code enforcement personnel under the rules and regulations   promulgated by the secretary of state pursuant to section three  hundred   seventy-six-a of the executive law.2.  A  local  law enacted pursuant to this section establishing county   licensure  of  electrical  inspectors  shall  supersede  any   provision   requiring   electrical   inspectors  to  also  obtain  a  local  license   promulgated by a city, town or village in the  county  pursuant  to  any   general,  special  or local law. Nothing in this section shall be deemed   to supersede any of the powers, functions and duties of the secretary of   state pursuant to section three hundred seventy-six-a of  the  executive   law.3.  In  this  section,  the term "electrical inspector" shall mean any   person who now or hereafter inspects  electrical  components,  equipment   and systems used in buildings and structures to determine the compliance   of   such   electrical   components,   equipment  and  systems  and  the   installation of such electrical components, equipment and  systems  with   the  applicable  provisions  of  the  state  uniform fire prevention and   building code promulgated pursuant to article eighteen of the  executive   law;  provided,  however,  that  the term electrical inspector shall not   include any person who performs such inspections as an employee  of  the   state  of  New York, any agency of the state of New York, or any county,   city, town or village. In no event shall any person who now or hereafter   performs such inspections as an employee of the state of New  York,  any   agency of the state of New York, or any county, city, town or village be   required to obtain a license issued pursuant to this section or pursuant   to any local law enacted pursuant to this section.4.  In  this section, the term "agency of the state of New York" shall   include any department, bureau, commission, board, public  authority  or   other  agency  of  the state of New York; any public benefit corporation   whose board of directors includes any member appointed by the  governor;   any  subdivision  of  any  department, bureau, commission, board, public   authority or other agency of the state which is easily identifiable  and   which for most other purposes is treated as an independent state agency;   and the office of information technology services.
