19 Miss. Code. R. 8-1.14 - Emergency and Temporary Mechanics Licenses

(1) Whenever an emergency exists in the state due to disaster, act of God, or work stoppage, as declared by the President of the United States or Governor of Mississippi, and the Commissioner of Insurance issues a finding that the number of persons in the state holding licenses granted by the Administrator is insufficient to cope with the emergency, the licensed elevator contractors shall respond as necessary to assure the safety of the public. Any person certified by a licensed elevator contractor to have an acceptable combination of documented experience and education to perform elevator work without direct and immediate supervision may seek an emergency elevator mechanic license from the administrator within five business days after commencing work requiring a license. The Administrator may issue emergency elevator mechanic licenses. The licensed elevator contractor shall furnish proof of competency as the Administrator may require. Each such license shall recite that it is valid for a period of One Hundred and Eighty (180) days from the date of issuance for particular elevators or geographical areas as the administrator may designate and shall entitle the licensee to the rights and privileges of an elevator mechanic license issued under this Regulation. The Administrator may renew an emergency elevator mechanic license during the existence of an emergency. A Three Hundred Dollar ($300.00) fee shall be charged for any emergency elevator mechanic license or renewal thereof.

(2) For purposes of this Regulation, the phrase "acceptable combination of documented experience and education" shall mean at least two years of experience in performing elevator work and the completion of a least 288 hours of Administrator-approved education relating to the same.
