What skilled trades does the Construction Industries Board regulate?

"A. The Construction Industries Board is hereby authorized to administer the Electrical License Act and exercise all incidental powers necessary and proper to implement and enforce the provisions of the Electrical License Act and the rules promulgated pursuant thereto." — Title 59 section 1681(A), read 5 November 2026.

"B. Ninety (90) days from and after July 1, 1982, it shall be a misdemeanor for any person to act as an electrical contractor or to engage in or offer to engage in, by advertisement or otherwise, the business of an electrical contractor until the person, or a member of the partnership, or an officer of the firm, association or corporation, shall have qualified and is licensed as an electrical contractor." — Title 59 section 1690(B), read 5 November 2026.

Is there a CIB low voltage license?

The relevant electrical licensing clause is quoted below. Read its stated conditions rather than extending the wording to all low-voltage work.

Source: Construction Industries Board, Electrical License Act, read 5 November 2026.

"B. Class 2 and Class 3 circuits shall be exempt from the requirements of electrical licensing of either an electrical contractor or a journeyman electrician, provided the work is performed in accordance with the National Fire Protection Association 70 requirements for Class 2 and Class 3 circuits." — Title 59 section 1682(B), read 5 November 2026.

The CIB circuit exception can remain part of your own research as you describe the equipment and wiring involved in an InstaBids request.

Can local requirements apply to electrical work in Oklahoma?

The Electrical License Act separately discusses city and town permitting. Its municipal-regulation clause is quoted below; this page does not describe any particular city’s permit process.

Source: Construction Industries Board, Electrical License Act, read 5 November 2026.

"A. Any city or town in this state may prescribe rules, regulations and standards for the materials used and the construction, installation and inspection of all electrical work in connection with any building, structure or conveyance in such city or town provided that no electrical work shall be done without a permit first being obtained from such city or town. This permit may be issued upon such terms and conditions as the city or town may prescribe." — Title 59 section 1693(A), read 5 November 2026.

Source: Construction Industries Board, Electrical License Act, read 5 November 2026.

Keep the municipal permitting clause in your own research notes while you describe the location and electrical work in your InstaBids request.

"(b) An electrical contractor license may be placed on inactive status and not be required to provide a bond and insurance.

The inactive electrical contractor's license may be used to perform work as a journeyman electrician." — OAC 158:40-5-3(b), read 5 November 2026.

Source: Construction Industries Board, electrical rules effective 11 July 2026, read 5 November 2026.
