The administrator of the division of building safety shall appoint the number of deputy electrical inspectors as may be required for the effective enforcement of the provisions of this chapter. All inspectors shall be skilled in electrical installations with not less than four (4) years of actual experience as a journeyman electrician, shall possess certificates of competency prior to appointment, and shall be fully familiar with the provisions of this chapter and rules made both by the administrator and the Idaho electrical board. No inspector employed by the division of building safety and assigned to the enforcement of the provisions of this chapter shall be engaged or financially interested in an electrical business, trade, practice or work, or the sale of any supplies connected therewith, nor shall he act as an agent, directly or indirectly, for any person, firm, copartnership, association or corporation so engaged. Inspectors employed by municipalities electing to claim exemption under this chapter must possess the qualifications set forth in this section. Inspectors employed by the division of building safety shall take and pass, before the end of their probationary period, the general inspector’s test administered by the educational testing service, or future tests developed by the educational testing service for that purpose, or such examination developed for similar purposes, and administered by another testing agency, which the Idaho electrical board may select. The board may also promulgate rules relative to the applicability of this provision to existing electrical inspectors with permanent status in the division.
