(e)

Any governmental agency desiring to qualify maintenance craftsman for the sole purpose of maintaining and making minor repairs to their own systems, apparatus and equipment may do so within their own agencies' jurisdiction, regardless of the number of addresses, provided they meet the qualifications outlined in this Chapter.
