Current through Register Vol. 42, No. 9, June 28, 2024
(1) When
			 charges are made against a licensed electrical contractor or journeyman
			 electrician which would justify suspension or revocation, if proven, notice of
			 the specific nature of the charges and the time and place of a hearing will be
			 served upon the accused by registered mail and addressed to the last known
			 address on record, not less than twenty-one (21) days before the date fixed for
			 such hearing.
(2) The Board may
			 suspend, revoke, or refuse to issue or renew a license after notice and
			 opportunity for the applicant/licensee to be heard, upon proof of any of the
			 following actions:
(a) violation of any
			 provision of
Code of Ala. 1975
, §§
									34-36-1,
et seq
.;
(b) attempting to procure a license to
			 practice electrical contracting or to work as a master electrician or
			 journeyman electrician by bribery or fraudulent misrepresentations;
(c) being convicted or found guilty,
			 regardless of adjudication, of a crime in any jurisdiction which directly
			 relates to the practice of electrical contracting, working as a journeyman
			 electrician, or the ability to practice electrical contracting or to work as a
			 master electrician or journeyman electrician;
(d) making or filing a report or record which
			 the licensee knows to be false, willfully failing to file a report or record
			 required by state or federal law, willfully impeding or obstructing such
			 filing, or inducing another person to impede or obstruct such filing. Such
			 reports or records shall include only those which are signed in the capacity of
			 a licensed electrical contractor, master electrician, or journeyman
			 electrician;
(e) being found guilty
			 of fraud or deceit or of negligence, incompetency, or misconduct in the
			 practice of electrical contracting or working as a master electrician or
			 journeyman electrician;
(f)
			 practicing on a revoked, suspended, or inactive license;
(g) aiding or abetting any person to evade
			 any provision of this chapter;
(h)
			 knowingly combining or conspiring with any person by allowing one's license to
			 be used by any unlicensed person with the intent to evade this chapter. When a
			 licensee allows his or her license to be used by any firm, partnership,
			 association, or corporation without having any active participation in the
			 operations or management of the firm, partnership, association, or corporation,
			 such act constitutes prima facie evidence of an intent to evade this chapter.
			 If an electrical contractor files a request with the Board to transfer his or
			 her license more than twice in a calendar year, then a hearing shall be set
			 before the Board with the burden of proof being on the licensee to prove that
			 the intent of this chapter is not being circumvented or obstructed;
(i) acting in the capacity of an electrical
			 contractor under any license issued under this act except in the name of the
			 licensee as set forth on the issued license;
(j) having a license to practice electrical
			 contracting or journeyman electrician revoked, suspended, or otherwise
			 disciplined, including the denial of licensure by the licensing authority of
			 another municipality, county, state, territory, or country.
