Nothing in the Electrical License Act shall prohibit cities and towns from having full authority to provide supervision and inspection of electrical facilities by the enactment of codes, ordinances, bylaws, rules and regulations in such form as they may determine and prescribe for their jurisdiction; provided, that no such codes, ordinances, bylaws, rules or regulations shall be inconsistent with the Electrical License Act, or any rule or regulation adopted or prescribed by the State Board of Health as authorized by the Electrical License Act. Each state licensed electrical contractor and journeyman electrician shall be required to register with any city or town in whose jurisdiction he operates. Each such city or town is authorized to register such electrical contractor or journeyman electrician, to revoke the registration, to charge fees for the registration and for permits and inspections of electrical work. No electrical contractor or journeyman electrician shall be permitted to do business or work in any city or town where his local registration has been revoked.
