The proposed bill, if enacted, would amend several sections of the Arizona Revised Statutes related to the Registrar of Contractors (ROC). Notably, it would remove the requirement for the ROC to publicly post a list of applicants for a contractor license on its website for at least twenty days and clarify that a licensee must not have engaged in contracting without a license or committed any act that would be grounds for suspension or revocation unless any loss caused by such act has been fully satisfied. Additionally, the bill would eliminate the requirement for licensees to exhibit evidence of possessing a license on demand and specify that a revoked license cannot be issued as a new license until one year after the final determination of revocation. Further changes include the introduction of a criminal records check requirement for license applicants and the removal of certain procedural requirements regarding the posting of license numbers. The bill also aims to allow the registrar to accept voluntary gifts and grants for authorized programs and clarify the conditions under which a license may be renewed or reissued after suspension or revocation. Overall, these updates are intended to streamline the licensing process and clarify existing regulations for contractors in Arizona.
