Summary

The law expands the reasons a contractor’s license can be suspended or denied to include unpaid taxes and fees owed to the Department of Tax and Fee Administration, in addition to existing tax agencies. It requires written notice, allows installment agreements to avoid suspension, and obligates the department to notify licensees before requesting action. The changes affect contractors, their employees, and any businesses that share the same licensed personnel.
