  • NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN THAT the Electrical Contractors’ Licensing Board has issued an order disposing of the petition for declaratory statement filed by Fisher & Phillips, LLP, Attorneys at Law, on behalf of TEKsystems, on March 03, 2009. The following is a summary of the agency's disposition of the petition:
    The Notice of Petition for Declaratory Statement was published in Vol. 35, No. 20, of the May 22, 2009, Florida Administrative Weekly. The Petitioner sought the Board’s opinion as to whether TEKsystems may provide contract employees to perform work for licensed electrical contractors in the state of Florida, without requiring such contract employees to themselves be licensed by the Board, under Section 489.503, Florida Statutes. The Board considered the Petition at its meeting held on May 15, 2009, in Tampa, Florida, and issued an order, filed on July 16, 2009, finding that a Florida certified or registered electrical contractor may contract with Petitioner for the provision of workers employed by Petitioner to work for the electrical contractor. Such workers would be considered employees of the Florida certified or registered electrical contractor for purposes of licensure and would enjoy the same exemption from licensure as would a regular employee of the Florida certified or registered electrical contractor, as long as that employee of the Petitioner acts within the scope of the license held by the certified or registered electrical contractor, and with the knowledge and permission of the certified or registered electrical contractor.
    A copy of the Order Disposing of the Petition for Declaratory Statement may be obtained by contacting: Juanita Chastain, Executive Director, Electrical Contractors’ Licensing Board, Northwood Centre, 1940 North Monroe Street, Tallahassee, Florida 32399.
