The proposed bill would amend section 32-1155 of the Arizona Revised Statutes, which pertains to the process for handling complaints against contractors. The bill introduces new language that clarifies the citation process, specifically stating that the registrar may issue a citation directing the licensee to respond within ten days. This response must include a written answer to the citation and complaint, demonstrating why the license should not be suspended or revoked, and it must be filed within the statute of limitations as outlined in section 32-1162.

Additionally, the bill modifies the service of citation process by replacing the phrase "thereof" with "of the citation" to enhance clarity. The current law regarding the methods of service remains unchanged, which includes personal service or mailing a true copy of the citation and complaint via certified mail to the licensee's latest address of record. The completion of service remains the same, occurring either at the time of personal service or five days after mailing.
