Not statewide yet. Act 108 of 2026 (Senate Bill 1260) was approved by the Governor on 22 October 2026 and establishes the State Board of Electrical Licensure. The Department of State says the Act provides a two-year period before licensure requirements take effect. Until then, licensing is set by municipalities; in Philadelphia a licence can be checked in the city's contractor lookup.
