Sec.20-332-17. Failure to offer services after submitting letter of intent. Surrender of contractor's license. Reinstatement

(a) Any person who meets the qualifications established by law and who submits to the board a letter of intent to offer his services or the services of his employees to the general public, but who does not in fact offer his services or the services of his employees to the general public within sixty days from the date the letter is received by the board shall be subject to whatever action is deemed necessary by the board.

(b) Any holder of a contractor's license shall surrender the license when he ceases to offer his services to the general public. If a licensee fails to surrender his contractor's license within thirty days of ceasing to offer services to the general public, said license may be revoked by the board.

(c) Notice of action by the board under the provisions of this section may be given addressed to the last-known address of the licensee by regular mail.

(d) A journeyman's or limited journeyman's license may be issued forthwith, at the discretion of the board, to any person whose contractor's license has been revoked under subsection (a) or (b) above, or whose contractor's license is voluntarily surrendered under subsection (b) above, provided he shall have held the contractor's license pursuant to subsection (a) or (b) above, for a period of not less than thirty days.

(e) A person holding a valid and current journeyman's or limited journeyman's license issued under subsection (d) may apply for reinstatement of his contractor's license upon showing evidence of his intention to offer services to the general public. Such reinstatement shall be at the discretion of the board, but any person denied a contractor's license shall upon request be given a hearing before the board denying his application.
