(b)

A licensed electrical contractor or an agent the contractor has designated to the department or the department’s designated agent in a record signed by the electrical contractor. The department or department’s designated agent shall only issue a permit under this subsection if the application for the permit is accompanied by a signed statement that the electrical contractor’s general supervising electrician of record will sign the permit before an inspection of the electrical work is requested. A contractor or the contractor’s general supervisor will promptly request an inspection of electrical work performed under a permit issued under this subsection. A permit issued under this subsection shall state the name of the electrical contractor.

Under the permit the authority having jurisdiction shall cause a periodic inspection to be made of the electrical installations. The authority may also cause a cover inspection, which shall be made before electrical installations are covered. The periodic inspection under the permit shall be done at least once a year or more frequently based on the needs of the particular plant, building or facility.
