12 CE hours to renew electrician licenses

Beginning January 1, 2026, contractor and journeyman licenses do not renew unless you complete 12 hours of continuing education in the prior 36 months. Six hours must cover codes and revisions adopted by the state building code commission; the other six hours may cover wiring, grounding, motors, controls, alternative energy and storage, NFPA 70E safety, manufacturer install rules, the license act, board rules, or other topics the committee approves. Courses and instructors must be approved; emergency substitute instructors are allowed with written notice within seven days. Providers may hold courses during the workday. CE finished while your license is expired counts toward the 36 months before it expired, and you can renew once you meet CE and other steps. You must complete another 12 hours for each new three‑year period.

Apprentices need 3 CE hours yearly

Beginning January 1, 2026, apprentices must complete 3 hours of continuing education in the year before re‑registration. Courses and instructors must be approved; emergency substitute instructors are allowed with written notice within seven days. Content includes state‑adopted electrical codes, related Oklahoma industry rules, and NFPA 70E electrical safety, plus other approved trade topics. Hours finished while registration is expired count toward the year before it expired, and you can re‑register after you meet CE and other steps. Student apprentices, or apprentices enrolled and attending an approved course, are exempt during that time.

Board must align rules with law

The Construction Industries Board must update its rules to match the Electrical License Act. This is an administrative change. The law sets no new fees or funding in this section.
