companies that feel strongly to donate to their cause. Contact is John Cogdill

New Law Amending RCW 19.28.191
After much discussion and pressure from numerous groups, the Legislature has
passed an amendment to RCW 19.28.191, known as the "Electrical Licensing" law.
This affects all property managers and staff doing any electrical work on their
clients' buildings. (This does NOT affect owners working on their own
buildings.)
Although it is not as strict as originally written, the amendment does NOT make
concessions that BOMA and other commercial building industry groups were asking
for. Stay tuned for more on this during this session.
