Connecticut General Statutes Title 20. Professional and Occupational Licensing, Certification, Title Protection and Registration. Examining Boards § 20-350. Licensing of electronics technicians and service dealers. Reciprocity

(a) The board may authorize the Department of Consumer Protection to issue a license as a licensed electronics technician to any person who has engaged in servicing receiving equipment for four or more years, or who has a combination of technical training at a university, college, correspondence or vocational or technical school and practical experience equivalent to three years, with not less than one year of actual practical experience, immediately preceding his application, who successfully demonstrates his knowledge of and fitness for servicing receiving equipment by written, oral and practical examination.

(b) The board may authorize the Department of Consumer Protection to issue a license without examination to any person who, at the time of the application or within thirty days prior thereto, was licensed to engage in servicing receiving equipment by another state under a law which contained qualifications substantially similar to those prescribed by this chapter, which state grants reciprocity to persons licensed under the provisions of this chapter.

(c) The board may authorize the Department of Consumer Protection to issue a service dealer's license to (1) any person engaged in the sale or servicing of receiving equipment who holds an unrestricted electronics technician license, (2) any such person who has a holder of such a license in his employ, or (3) any such person who otherwise procures the services of a holder of such a license. When a service dealer license has been issued to an applicant under this subsection based on the qualifications of a regular employee who has been issued an unrestricted electronics technician license, and the active services of such employee with the service dealer licensee have been terminated, such service dealer license shall be of no effect until the service dealer is again qualified in accordance with the provisions of this subsection, and no such service dealer shall engage in the business regulated by this chapter during the period for which he is not so qualified.
