If the responsible managing officer, responsible managing employee, responsible managing member, or responsible managing manager disassociates from the licensed entity, the licensee or the qualifier shall notify the registrar in writing within 90 days after the date of disassociation. The licensee shall have 90 days after the date of disassociation in which to replace the qualifier. Upon failure to replace the qualifier within 90 days after the date of disassociation, the license shall be automatically suspended or the classification removed at the end of the 90 days.(b)
To replace a responsible managing officer, responsible managing employee, responsible managing member, or responsible managing manager, the licensee shall file an application as prescribed by the registrar, accompanied by the fee fixed by this chapter, designating an individual to qualify as required by this chapter.(c)
Upon failure of the licensee or the qualifier to notify the registrar of the disassociation of the qualifier within 90 days after the date of disassociation, the license shall be automatically suspended or the classification removed and the qualifier removed from the license effective the date the written notification is received at the board’s headquarters office.(d)
The person qualifying on behalf of a licensee under Section 7068 shall be responsible for the licensee’s construction operations until the date of disassociation or the date the board receives the written notification of disassociation, whichever is later.(e)
(1)Upon a showing of good cause by the licensee, the registrar may review and accept a petition for one 90-day extension to replace the qualifier immediately following the initial 90-day period described in subdivision (a) only under one or more of the following circumstances:(A)
If the licensee is disputing the date of disassociation.(B)
If the responsible managing officer, employee, member, or manager has died.(C)
If there has been a delay in processing the application to replace the qualifier that is out of the applicant’s control and it is the responsibility of the board or another state or federal agency that is relied upon in the application process.(2)
This petition shall be received within 90 days after the date of disassociation or death or delay. The petition shall only be considered if an application to replace the qualifier as prescribed by the registrar is on file with the board. Under the circumstances described in subparagraphs (A) and (B) of paragraph (1), the licensee shall have no more than a total of 180 days after the date of disassociation or death in which to replace the qualifier.(f)
Failure of the licensee or the qualifier to notify the registrar of the qualifier’s disassociation within 90 days after the date of disassociation shall constitute grounds for disciplinary action.
