AI Summary
-
Expands the Registrar of Contractors' authority to discipline "successors" of contractors who commit violations, not just the original license holders.
-
Creates a rebuttable presumption that an applicant or licensee is a "successor" if they share two or more characteristics with a disciplined contractor, including similar work in the same area, premises, contact information, workforce, equipment, or key personnel.
-
Adds persons who suffer loss or injury due to a contractor's violation of employment laws (Title 23) to those who can file written complaints triggering mandatory investigations.
-
Authorizes civil penalties up to $500 per violation for failure to take corrective action after receiving a written directive, and up to $1,000 per violation for contracting while a license is suspended or inactive.
-
Failure to pay imposed civil penalties results in automatic license revocation, and individuals named on the license cannot obtain a new license until all penalties are paid.
