The Electrical Contractors’ Licensing Board hereby gives notice that it has issued an Order on the Petition for Declaratory Statement, that was filed on August 9, 2005 by Brent J. Horton, Esquire, on behalf of Partech, Inc. The Notice of Petition for Declaratory Statement was published in Vol. 31, No. 34, of the August 26, 2005, Florida Administrative Weekly. Petitioner sought the Board’s interpretation of Section 489.503, F.S., entitled “Exemptions,” and whether Partech must use licensed electrical contractors for the installation of Point of Sale Computer Systems. The Electrical Contractors’ Licensing Board considered the Petition at its meeting held on September 23, 2005, in Palm Beach, Florida. The Board’s Order, filed on December 7, 2005, answered the Petition for Declaratory Statement in the affirmative, finding that the installation of the Point of Sale Computer Systems must be performed by a licensed electrical contractor.
