Licenses classifcation question

[Chris Simms]

In the state of GA we have 2 classes for electrical licenses, Class 1 is 200 amps or less residential only and Class 2 is EVERYTHING else including class 1
Currently I hold a class 1 licenses and have been wiring only 1 200 amp panel per house but the houses are starting to get bigger and will require 2 400 amp panels. The GA sos web page has this clause in their Rules for electrical licensing
(Statewide class I electrical contractor licenses are restricted to electrical contracting involving single-phase electrical installations which do not exceed 200 amperes at the service drop or the service lateral. Class II electrical contractor licenses are unrestricted.)

I have had several other electricians to tell me that if the panels are only 200 amps then I am covered under the class 1 license.
Any Thoughts on this?

With no additional knowledge except for what you provided, it seems to me that you will have 200 amp conductors paralleled, so you are exceeding the scope of the class I license.
