Hearing complaints against licensees, the Board may suspend or revoke a license or permit in findings of fraud or incompetence. Appeals of Board decisions, or cases where criminal guilt is decided, are heard by the Circuit Court. The Board maintains records of meeting minutes, electrician licensing, and electrical inspector registration.
Five members constitute the Board. They are appointed by the Board of County Commissioners to three-year terms. The Chair is chosen by the Board (County Code, secs. 98-1 through 98-29).
