With no new business on the agenda Chairman Meinhardt asked if there was any progress made on the State bill regarding continuing education for the electricians.  Secretary Kerschen told the Board he was present at the meeting on House Bill 2251, which is the Bill on continuing education for the plumbers, HVAC and electricians, on June 8, 2007 at Salina.  Present at that meeting were officials from several jurisdictions around the state and also present was Representative Grange.  There were long discussions on what the requirements and wording should be in the Bill.  It was decided that I would write up the wording I had presented to the group and send that to the other members so they could review that wording and think about other changes they would like to see.  This group voted to meet again in August of 2007 to continuing the discussion.  Secretary Kerschen said he would email HB2251 with the revised wording to each of the Board members for their review.  
	

With no other business to conduct, Board member Johnson made a motion to adjourn. Board member Ragland seconded the motion and the meeting adjourned.

The time was 3:44 pm.


Tom Kerschen, Secretary,
