§ 3381.25. Elective suspension (escrow) of license.


Latest version.
  • (A)

    A license-holder may place their license in elective suspension (escrow) upon a written request and payment of the fee, as prescribed by the fee schedule for such placement to the department's license section, at any time. The written request shall be submitted with his or her application for the immediate establishment of the elective suspension (escrow) status or to occur in lieu of their contractor license renewal. The license-holder shall pay the fee as prescribed by the fee schedule and obtain, a contractor license elective suspension (escrow) renewal each year as herein before regulated. During the period of the elective suspension (escrow), the license-holder shall not be required to obtain or furnish the required bond or liability insurance. Throughout the period of elective suspension (escrow), the license-holder shall not perform any work of a licensed contractor and no permits shall be issued to such license-holder.

    (B)

    A general or limited sign erector contractor license may be placed in elective suspension (escrow) indefinitely; however, such license shall be renewed each year by payment of the fee prescribed by the fee schedule for such placement. Failure to renew a license that is in elective suspension (escrow) shall be sufficient cause for such license to become immediately canceled by the department without recourse. Reestablishment of a general or limited sign erector contractor license shall be only accomplished by making a new application for such license with the department.

    (C)

    Upon notification to the department's license section and paying the fee as prescribed in the fee schedule, and providing evidence of all required documentation, the elective suspension (escrow) status of a license shall be removed. Thereafter, the license-holder may perform the work of his or her licensed craft or trade as a contractor and obtain permits as applicable.
