Current through Register Vol. 47, No. 3, July 24, 2024
(1)
Application.
Any
			 contractor seeking licensure as an alarm system contractor shall submit a
			 completed application form to the department. The application shall be filed no
			 later than 30 days prior to the date of beginning work in this state or the
			 date on which an existing license expires. An application form may be obtained
			 from the department or the department's website. The application form shall be
			 submitted with all required attachments and the required application fee. An
			 application will not be considered complete unless all required information is
			 submitted, including required attachments and fees, and will not be processed
			 until it is complete.
(2)
Licensure fee.
The license fee for alarm system contractors
			 will be $300 for two years. If an application for licensure provides for more
			 than one responsible managing employee pursuant to rule
			 661-277.3 (100C), there will be
			 an additional fee of $50 for each responsible managing employee beyond the
			 first. If an application for licensure provides for more than one endorsement
			 as provided in subrule 277.1(2), there will be an additional fee of $50 for
			 each endorsement beyond the first. The department will waive any fee charged to
			 an applicant for a license if the applicant's household income does not exceed
			 200 percent of the federal poverty income guidelines and the applicant is
			 applying for the license for the first time in this state.
(3)
Payment.
The license fee
			 may be submitted electronically or delivered by draft, check, or money order in
			 the applicable amount payable to the department. Cash payments are not
			 accepted.
(4)
Amended
			 license.
a. The fee for issuance of
			 an amended license is the difference between the original license fee paid and
			 changes in endorsement(s) or responsible managing employee(s), if applicable.
			 The fee shall be submitted with the request for an amended licensure.
b. A contractor will request and the
			 department will issue an amended license for any of the following reasons, and
			 a fee does not apply:
(1) A change in the
			 designation of a responsible managing employee;
(2) A change in insurance coverage;
			 or
(3) A change in any other
			 material information included in or with the initial or renewal application. A
			 change in the location of a business is a material change; however, no fee will
			 be charged for the issuance of an amended license if the sole reason for
			 amending the license is to reflect a change in location that was necessitated
			 by disaster emergency conditions and the business was located in an area
			 subject to a disaster emergency proclamation issued by the governor pursuant to
			 Iowa Code section 29C.6.
c. Other changes in the information required
			 in the application form, including renewal of insurance coverage with a new
			 expiration date, shall be reported to the department but will not require
			 issuance of an amended license or payment of the amended license fee.
