§ 2.76.080. Powers and duties.

The board of electrical examiners and appeals shall have the following powers and duties:

A.

The board shall examine all applicants for a master electrician's, equipment installer's and low-voltage wiring installer's license and, upon the successful completion of such examination and payment of the required licensure fee, shall issue to each applicant an appropriate license. The board shall also examine applicants for home owner permits.

B.

The board, in open meetings, shall hear all appeals under the provisions of this chapter and Chapters 6.20, 6.40 and 16.20, from any decision or ruling of the director of codes administration. The board, when so appealed to and after a hearing, may vary the application of any provision of this chapter and Chapters 6.20, 6.40 and 16.20 to any particular case when, in its opinion, the strict enforcement thereof would do manifest injustice and would be contrary to the spirit and purposes of this chapter or public interest, and when, in its opinion, the interpretation of the director should be modified.

C.

The board may, upon presentation of satisfactory evidence in the form of materials tests and technical data, approve the use under this chapter and Chapters 6.20, 6.40 and 16.20 any new electrical material or method of installation not specifically covered or allowed by this chapter and Chapters 6.20, 6.40 and 16.20. A public hearing, at a time and place set by the board, shall be held prior to approval or disapproval by the board of any proposed new electrical material or method of construction. Such hearing shall be conducted according to the rules of the board established for such hearings.

D.

The board shall have the authority to revoke or suspend any licensure issued by such board according to the procedures as set forth in Section 6.20.120 of this code.
