Missouri & Kansas Electrical Licensing for Local 124 Travelers
One reason Local 124 is a favorite destination for Book 2 wiremen from across the Midwest is that neither Missouri nor Kansas requires a statewide individual Journeyman Electrician license to take an IBEW Inside referral:
1. Missouri Side (Kansas City, Northland Google NRD/KNC, Belton NNSA)
- Under Missouri Revised Statutes Chapter 324 (§§ 324.900 to 324.945), the Missouri Division of Professional Registration issues an optional Statewide Electrical Contractor License (one licensed contractor per company), not a mandatory statewide individual journeyman card.
- In Kansas City, Missouri, electrical permits are pulled under the signatory NECA contractor's master/supervisor license registered with Kansas City's City Planning and Development Department. You do not need to apply to a state licensing board in Jefferson City before signing Book 2 at Local 124.
2. Kansas Side (De Soto Panasonic EV Battery Plant, Olathe Amazon)
- Kansas also has no statewide individual electrician licensing board. Individual journeyman and master exams in Kansas (such as KSA 12-1525 Prometric/Experior or ICC code credentials) are administered at the city or county level, while Johnson County Contractor Licensing regulates contractor business licenses (
Class DEElectrical Contractor). - On signatory calls at Panasonic Energy in De Soto or Amazon in Olathe, you work under the signatory contractor's licensing and your IBEW Journeyman Wireman ticket. None of the 11 active calls on Local 124's October 15, 2026 dispatch sheet requires a state journeyman license card.
