No blanket reciprocity - Utah licenses out-of-state electricians by endorsement (equivalent license, in good standing 1+ year); bilateral endorsement recognized broadly (e.g. Arizona, Nevada, Idaho, Colorado, Wyoming and many others). Endorsement applicants still pass a Utah state-amendment/law portion. link
