Bill Summary · SB 102

Legislative bill overview

SB 102 amends Delaware's Title 24 code governing the Board of Electrical Examiners, modifying regulatory provisions for electricians and electrical work in the state. The bill passed both chambers with broad support and was signed into law in September 2025. Specific amendments to the board's authority, licensing requirements, or operational procedures were made through Senate Amendment 1.

Why is this important

The Board of Electrical Examiners oversees licensing, training standards, and safety compliance for electricians across Delaware, affecting workforce development and public safety in electrical installations. Changes to this regulatory framework can influence licensing accessibility, apprenticeship requirements, contractor standards, and construction costs. The broad bipartisan support (40-1 House vote) suggests the amendments address industry or public concerns with general consensus.

Potential points of contention

  • Licensing or apprenticeship changes – Modifications to examination requirements, experience hours, or reciprocity could either expand workforce access or raise professional standards depending on the specific amendment
  • Scope of board authority – Alterations to enforcement powers, fee structures, or disciplinary procedures may affect regulatory burden on electrical contractors and consumers
  • Senate Amendment 1 specifics – The amendment passed narrowly (18-3 with 3 absent) compared to final passage, suggesting some legislative disagreement on particular provisions that were incorporated into the final bill
