|A. Within twenty-five (25) calendar days from the date of application, the registrar shall either issue or deny the roofing contractor registration. No registration shall be issued to a qualifying party until the registrar receives all documentation and fees necessary to obtain a registration certificate in good standing. The registration certificate issued on an original application entitles the person to act as a roofing contractor within this state, subject to the limitations of the Roofing Contractor Registration Act. Until January 1, 2015, all registrations shall expire on June 30 of each year and may be renewed from year to year. Beginning no later than January 1, 2015, all registrations issued shall be renewed based on staggered expiration dates of the last day of the birth month of the qualifying party so that all registrations and endorsements shall expire on the last day in the birth month of the qualifying party. The Construction Industries Board is authorized to prorate registration and renewal fees, as described by rule, so that beginning January 1, 2015, or thirty (30) days after rules have been approved, fees for renewals previously due by June 30, 2015, are prorated and converted to be due the last day of the birth month of the qualifying party by shortening or lengthening the next renewal date by up to six (6) months. Beginning the effective date of this act, new initial registrations and endorsements will be issued for up to eighteen (18) months and due for renewal the last day of the birth month of the qualifying party. After initial proration or conversion to birth month, no subsequent registration or endorsement shall be issued for longer than one (1) year and all endorsements shall expire on the last day in the birth month of the qualifying party. The Construction Industries Board shall implement rules for the scheduling of expiration and renewal of registrations and endorsements, including the prorating of fees and the identification and information of the qualifying party. The commercial roofer endorsement shall expire on the expiration date of the supporting registration. |B. An applicant or qualifying party whose registration or endorsement is refused or denied by the registrar may obtain a hearing before the Committee of Roofing Examiners with written notice to the registrar of the grounds for appeal and identification of evidence to be presented in support of the application requirements and any other information showing the applicant's ability and willingness to comply with the requirements of the act, and to protect the public health, safety and welfare. Such appeals to the Committee of Roofing Examiners shall be made by the qualifying party in writing to the registrar within fourteen (14) days from the date of the written notification of denial or refusal to register or endorse.C. The Construction Industries Board shall issue a commercial roofer endorsement to any person who:1. Has been certified by the Committee of Roofing Examiners as having successfully passed the appropriate examination; and2. Has paid the application and endorsement fee and has otherwise complied with all of the provisions of the commercial roofer endorsement of the Roofing Contractor Registration Act. The endorsement fee is hereby established as up to Two Hundred Dollars ($200.00). Renewal of a commercial roofer endorsement shall be One Hundred Dollars ($100.00).Endorsements renewed more than thirty (30) days following the date of expiration may only be renewed upon application and payment of the required fees and payment of late renewal fee in the amount of One Hundred Dollars ($100.00).No endorsement shall be renewed unless the licensee has completed the required hours of continuing education recommended by the Committee and set forth by rule.No late fee shall be charged to renew a registration or endorsement which expired while the applicant was in active military service, if application for renewal is made within one (1) year of discharge from active duty status.Added by Laws 2010, c. 479, § 10, eff.
