In general. Subject to the provisions of this section, the Board may waive any examination requirement of this subtitle for an applicant who holds an active electrician license issued by another county or municipal corporation of the state.

(b)

Conditions. The Board may grant a waiver under this section if the applicant:

(1)

Pays to the Board the fee established by the County Administrative Officer; and

(2)

Provides written verification from the other county or municipal corporation of the state that:

(i)

The county or municipal corporation has licensed the applicant by examination; and

(ii)

The applicant has been operating an electrical business for at least 1 year in that county or municipal corporation.

(c)

Reciprocity. The Board may grant a waiver if the county or municipal corporation of the state in which the applicant is licensed waives the examination of licensees of Baltimore County to a similar extent as Baltimore County waives the examination requirements for individuals licensed in that county or municipal corporation.

(d)

Applicant not licensed by examination. The Board may not grant a license to a person or business that was licensed by another county or municipal corporation of the state under the grandfather clause without examination unless the applicant has provided to the Board written verification from that county or municipal corporation that the person or business has been operating an electrical business for at least 2 years in the county or municipal corporation.
