Bill > SB1679

This bill makes several changes to the laws governing contractors in Arizona, primarily focusing on the powers and duties of the Registrar of Contractors and the processes for licensing, renewals, and disciplinary actions. Key provisions include clarifying the Registrar's record-keeping requirements for licenses, allowing for the issuance of certified copies of license information, and enabling the Registrar to accept voluntary gifts and grants for program development. The bill also modifies the requirements for obtaining and renewing a contractor's license, including provisions for criminal background checks and exceptions for certain past license denials or revocations if the applicant's actions did not cause unremedied hardship or danger to the public. It also adjusts the timeframe for appealing certain decisions and clarifies the process for reactivating suspended licenses and handling appeals related to the residential contractors' recovery fund. Additionally, the bill refines the procedures for filing and resolving complaints against licensees, including specific conditions under which a citation for failure to perform work professionally cannot be issued, and modifies rules regarding the service of final administrative decisions and the process for license renewal exemptions.
