1. A licensed
				electrician shall supervise not more than three apprentices. Any individual
				over sixteen years of age may work as an apprentice under a licensed master,
				class B, or power limited electrician, but the master, class B, or power
				limited electrician may not allow an apprentice to work on any installation
				without direct constant supervision by a North Dakota licensed electrician
				working with the apprentice at the worksite.
2. When an apprentice is found to be doing
				electrical or power limited work not under the direct supervision of a licensed
				electrician, an investigative fee may be charged to cover the costs incurred by
				the board. Costs are to be calculated at a rate of fifty dollars per hour and
				mileage rates currently allowed by North Dakota Century Code section 54-06-09
				per mile of travel.
3. Contractors
				shall maintain records of all individuals who are or will be performing
				electrical or power limited work for that contractor and shall permit the
				electrical board to examine and copy all such records as required by this
				section. It is the responsibility of the master, class B, or power limited
				electrician to ensure all individuals who are or will be performing electrical
				or power limited work for that contractor either be licensed electricians or
				registered apprentices with the board. Credit may not be given for hours spent
				working under a power limited electrician to any applicant for a master,
				journeyman, or class B electrician license.
4. Any master, class B, or power limited
				electrician who fails or refuses to comply with this section or who fails or
				refuses to comply or demonstrate compliance with this section at the request of
				the board or its representative shall subject that individual's license to
				nonrenewal, suspension, or revocation by the board.
5. A master, class B, or power limited
				electrician may exercise that person's privileges as a licensed master, class
				B, or power limited electrician for no more than one shop or business, and
				shall comply with provisions as required for contracting with the secretary of
				state's office as stated in North Dakota Century Code chapter 43-07. A master,
				class B, or power limited electrician must be actively engaged in the
				supervision of every project certified under that electrician's license. A
				master, class B, or power limited electrician shall notify the board office
				immediately upon changing their status for the business they
				represent.
6. Maintenance personnel
				regularly employed by the owner or property manager may maintain or make minor
				repairs to existing electrical wiring devices and appliances, but are precluded
				from extending or changing the characteristics of existing circuits, feeders,
				or other electrical apparatus.
