Licenses of residential electricians, journeyman electricians, or master electricians, unless they have been suspended or revoked by the board, must be renewed for a period of 3 years by the department on application for renewal made to the department on or before the renewal date set by department rule and on the payment of a renewal fee. If application for renewal is not made on or before the renewal date, an additional fee prescribed by board rule must be paid.
