Read the law I linked to. I can find nothing there that says it isn't unless you are working under the supervision of a licenced person.

It clearly says a licence is required to be an electrician. What it doesn't say is anything is anything about the exceptions you think are there for residential and industrial.

4740.13 Contractor operating without license.
(A) No person shall act as or claim to be a type of contractor that this chapter licenses unless that person holds or has been assigned a license issued pursuant to this chapter for the type of contractor that person is acting as or claiming to be.


read contractor definition in post directly before this one (it excludes residential and industrial)

It says it in the section you quoted above.

And I'll admit you may well be correct that a state licence isn't required for residential or industrial. Unless they there is another chapter of law that I haven't found or there has been some other regulation created by the state.

But as I said political subdivisions have likely covered that by requiring one

I would advise him to look really hard into county/municipality rules. I cannot think of any county/municipality in Ohio that doesn't require a license
