Notice To All Interested Parties Regarding Power Limited Technician Applicants:

Senate File 1355, which allows applicants that submit an application for the power limited technician examination by September 30, 2005 to qualify for the examination without meeting the 36-month experience requirement, was signed into law by the Governor on May 23rd. There is no deadline for applicants to take the examination. This law takes effect on May 24, 2005. Although applicants are not required to meet the experience requirements under this provision, they must still submit an application and pass the power limited technician examination to qualify to become licensed.

Interested persons may access an application under "personal licensing forms" and information specific to the examination as well as examination scheduling under "license examination guide" at http://www.electricity.state.mn.us/Elec_lic/Pers_lic/index.html. Persons who do not have Internet access may request an application packet by calling 651-642-0800.

Upon receiving a properly completed application and examination fee of $35, the applicant will be notified that they are approved to take the power limited technician examination and provided instructions on how to schedule their examination.

Applicants and interested parties are reminded that, except in very limited instance, technology circuit and system work is required to be performed by persons licensed as a Technology System or Electrical contractor, or by persons employed (income reported on a W-2 form) by a company licensed as a Technology System or Electrical contractor. A power limited technician license is not a contractor license. Interested parties may request a contractor application packet by calling 651-642-0800, or e-mailing their request to electricity.board@state.mn.us.
