2015 Guide to State Licensing Released by NSCA

The National Systems Contractors Association (NSCA) announces its 2015 Guide to State Licensing. The report provides the commercial electronic systems industry with a reference guide of state laws governing the installation of low-voltage systems.

The 2015 Guide to State Licensing offers an overview of licensing requirements and state code for each US state. The research presented reflects changes in state and administrative statutes through December 2014.

"This guide answers many questions we receive from members who want to know what it takes to do work in other states," says NSCA executive director Chuck Wilson. "With this information, they'll be able to quickly ensure compliance, no matter which state they're working in."

For each state, the 2015 Guide to State Licensing covers:
• Alarm system requirements
• Electrical contractor/electrician requirements
• Low-voltage requirements
• Approved reciprocal states
• License types and associated fees
• Contact information for licensing

The 2015 Guide to State Licensing is a valuable tool that puts licensing requirements at integrators' fingertips. The guide also offers a one-page quick reference sheet that outlines requirements for electrical/contractor, low-voltage, or alarm/security system work in each state.
