Notes
Ohio licenses electrical contractors through the Ohio Construction Industry Licensing Board. Official Ohio law states that chapter 4740 licenses are issued to individuals as electrical contractors, establishes an electrical section of the board, and authorizes reciprocity when another state's requirements are substantially equal. Verified against Ohio Revised Code chapter 4740 on 2026-03-09.
