Ohio Administrative Code › Title 4101:16 - Ohio Construction Industry Licensing Board › Chapter 4101:16-2 - Administrative Section › Section 4101:16-2-12 - Inactive status

Current through all regulations passed and filed through July 1, 2024
(A)
								 An individual holding a valid and un-expired current
			 license issued pursuant to Chapter 4740. of the Revised Code may request that
			 the license be placed in inactive status. The request shall be in writing on a
			 form prescribed and furnished by the appropriate specialty section. The
			 licensee shall provide any other information the appropriate specialty section
			 deems necessary. A license may remain in inactive status
			 indefinitely.
(B)
								 An individual who places
			 their license in an inactive status shall not engage in specialty contracting
			 or any activity for which the license is required. If the appropriate specialty
			 section determines that the licensee has engaged in specialty contracting or
			 in an activity requiring a valid license under
			 Chapter 4740. of the Revised Code, the appropriate section may suspend or
			 revoke the inactive license, and such
			 notification shall state that the person may request an adjudication hearing
			 pursuant to rule
			 4101:16-1-07
			 of the Administrative Code and section
			 119.07
			 of the Revised Code.
(C)
								In
			 order to maintain a license in inactive status, an individual
			 
			 shall apply for a renewal of the inactive license
			 each year in accordance
			 with rule
			 4101:16-2-07
			 of the Administrative Code. If an individual fails to apply for renewal
			 of the inactive status of the license pursuant to this rule, the license shall
			 expire at the end of the inactive status period for which the license was
			 granted. An individual whose inactive license has expired
			 due to
			 non-renewal may apply in writing to the appropriate specialty section for a
			 late renewal. The appropriate specialty section may allow the inactive license
			 to be renewed late, pursuant to rule
			 4101:16-2-07
			 of the Administrative Code, upon payment of the renewal fee plus a late
			 fee  within the time period specified. If the
			 individual fails to comply with the terms imposed by the appropriate specialty
			 section, the license shall automatically expire by operation of law, without the taking of any action by the appropriate
			 section or the board's secretary.
(D)
								 During the period a license is
			 in an inactive status, the licensee is exempt from the continuing education
			 requirements of rule
			 4101:16-2-08
			 of the Administrative Code. The licensee is not required to maintain contractor
			 liability insurance during the period the license is in inactive
			 status.
(E)
								 An individual may
			 have a license returned to active status upon the following conditions:
(1) The individual notifies the appropriate
			 specialty section on a form prescribed and furnished by the section;
(2) The individual completes the cumulative
			 continuing education requirements for the period of time that the license was
			 in inactive status. An individual seeking to have a license returned to active
			 status shall be required to complete no more than ten hours of continuing
			 education courses for each year the license was in an inactive status, but not
			 to exceed a total of thirty hours. In the event the individual was in the
			 compliant contractor program, pursuant to rule
			 4101:16-1-08
			 of the Administrative Code, at the time the
			 license was placed in inactive status, the individual shall be required to
			 complete no more than eight hours of continuing education courses for each year
			 the license was in an inactive status, but not to exceed a total of twenty-four
			 hours;
(3) The
			 individual pays a reactivation fee of sixty dollars; and
(4) The individual certifies that he or she
			 maintains at least five hundred thousand dollars in contractor liability
