The Florida Senate

489.501  Purpose.--The Legislature finds that electrical contracting and alarm system contracting are important services and potentially dangerous if not properly provided and, therefore, deems it necessary in the interest of public health, safety, and welfare to regulate the electrical and alarm system contractors in this state. This regulation seeks to enable qualified persons to obtain licensure, while ensuring that applicants have sufficient technical experience in the applicable trade prior to licensure, are tested on technical and business matters, and upon licensure are made subject to disciplinary procedures and effective policing of the profession.
