§ 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.
