The proposed bill would amend section 32-1155 of the Arizona Revised Statutes, specifically updating the process for handling complaints against contractors. The current law allows the registrar to issue a citation to a licensee after a written complaint is filed, requiring the licensee to respond within ten days. The bill introduces a minor change by clarifying that the complaint must be filed within the statute of limitations prescribed by section 32-1162, ensuring that the timeline for filing complaints is explicitly referenced.
Additionally, the bill modifies the service of citation process. It removes the phrase "thereof" from the current statute, replacing it with "of the citation" to enhance clarity. The method of service remains unchanged, allowing for personal service or certified mail to the licensee's latest address of record, with service being considered complete either upon personal delivery or five days after mailing. Overall, these updates aim to streamline the complaint process and improve the clarity of the existing statutes.
