Electrical use
An electrical minor label may be used on a job site with existing permits if the work is within the scope of work permitted by the minor label rules and is done by a contractor who does not have an existing electrical permit for that job site.
A contractor may only use one minor label per project at a job site. Job site is defined as the address of the home, apartment or commercial building.
Contractors are allowed to perform a number of installations, but contractors may not use a minor label to perform any installations outside the scope of their licenses.
