From dopl-communication at dopl.idaho.gov Wed Jun 5 09:19:40 2024 From: dopl-communication at dopl.idaho.gov (DOPL) Date: Wed, 5 Jun 2024 15:19:40 +0000 Subject: =?Windows-1252?Q?Update_regarding_DOPL=92s_New_Licensing_System?= Message-ID: The Idaho Division of Occupational and Professional Licenses (DOPL) has decided to implement a phased approach to transitioning Boards to the new Licensing system. The Boards and Programs listed below will not be transitioning to the new licensing system in July. Instead, they will transition on November 4, 2024, to align with the slowdown in building and recreational activities during the winter months: * Building Code * Damage Prevention * Electrical * Elevator Program * Factory Built Structures * HVAC * Industrial Safety * Logging Safety * Plumbing * Public Works Contractors * Outfitters and Guides In order to ensure a smooth process for our customers during their busiest building and outdoor recreational seasons, DOPL has made this decision to minimize any potential disruptions for permitting, licensure, or inspections. Trade Permits will continue to be purchased in the existing system through October 31, 2024. DOPL will provide you with additional information in the early fall as the second stage of the new licensing system implementation approaches.

Over the coming months, we will be undergoing negotiated rulemaking to finalize proposed changes. Following that process, rules will be presented to the legislature in early 2025 for consideration. In the meantime, the temporary rules will be in effect through the end of the 2025 legislative session. You can access the temporary rules here: https://adminrules.idaho.gov/rules/current/24/243910.pdf Permits obtained before April 19, 2024, will adhere to the 2017 NEC code during inspections. Any permits pulled after that date are subject to the current requirements. All exceptions are in effect as of April 19, 2024; contractors and homeowners will be notified of any code changes discovered during inspections that must be complied with for future permits. Consistent with the legislature's action, we have begun implementation of the 2023 NEC code. However, to ensure business continuity and to minimize disruption, we plan to engage in a multi-phased approach to enforcement via education, outreach, and training, with full enforcement commencing no later than January 1, 2025.

This collaboration introduces a more efficient process for obtaining your Electrical Journeyman or Electrical Master license. Examination and Application Procedures Effective immediately, applicants for these licenses will be required to take and pass the applicable NASCLA examination before applying for licensure with DOPL. Once applicants pass the examination, the score will be sent directly to DOPL, significantly reducing processing wait times. Additionally, partnering with PSI has increased the number of available seats and testing sites throughout the state, allowing candidates to quickly schedule and complete exams with shorter wait times. The exam content remains based on the 2017 NEC, and the exam fee is still $75. You may schedule an exam online here: https://test-takers.psiexams.com/idcon/test. NOTE: For those currently scheduled for an examination through DOPL, you may contact our office by emailing tradelicensing at dopl.idaho.gov and request a refund of your examination fee if you prefer to schedule through PSI as their availability may allow for you to test sooner. New Applications To support this change, DOPL has updated the applications for both the Electrical Journeyman and Electrical Master licenses. These new applications are available online at https://dopl.idaho.gov/ele/ele-licensing/. Attached is an FAQ that will provide additional information about this new process. We believe these improvements will make the licensing process more efficient and convenient for everyone. Should you have any questions, please feel free to contact us.
