The bill amends the Skilled Trades Regulation Act by adding a new section, 206, which outlines the process for a licensee to surrender their license. According to the new provisions, a licensee can surrender their license by delivering it along with a written notice to the director. Importantly, the surrender of the license does not absolve the licensee of any civil or criminal liability for actions taken prior to the surrender.

Additionally, the bill clarifies that surrendering a license does not affect any existing lawful contracts between the licensee and consumers. This ensures that any obligations under preexisting contracts remain intact, even after the license has been surrendered. Overall, the amendments aim to provide a clear framework for license surrender while protecting the rights and responsibilities of both licensees and consumers.
