Where is that? do you have hardware stores that sell electrical parts? Do you need a license to buy from them?
I could understand needing a license to perform work for hire but stopping people doing their own work sounds unenforceable.

In Australia for example you can't do your own (unless you are an electrician). Imagine if you buy a house with faulty electric work, you can't "see" it or even reasonably check it all in a building inspection. These kinds of regulations are lifesavers.
