S.D. Admin. R. 20:44:16:24
A maintenance electrician license holder must renew the license biennially prior to the license expiration date and must request inspection or waiver of inspection of electrical work prior to renewal. The application for renewal of a maintenance electrician's license must contain a statement that the applicant assumes all risk, liability, and responsibility for electrical work done by its employees and must be accompanied by a renewal fee of $80. All electrical violations found by an inspection must be corrected before the commission renews the entity's maintenance electrician license.
The commission may waive inspection if the commission receives written confirmation that no maintenance work has occurred in the preceding two years or receives an inspection report of maintenance electrical work from a qualified third party that has inspection authority over the maintenance licensee that is recognized by the commission.
A qualified third party is not a state or local electrical inspector but must have similar qualifications and must conduct electrical inspections following the National Electrical Code. Persons applying to the commission for approval as qualified third parties must submit applications listing their qualifications on forms provided by the commission.
