Manufactured home installers in North Dakota shall first

				  registered installer changes after issuance of the registration, the registered
				  installer shall notify the division in writing within thirty days from the date
				  of the change. A registration shall not be transferred nor assigned to another
				  person.
At the time that an initial application for registration is
				  filed, the following must be submitted:
1. Name of the installer and
				company;
2. Proof in the form of a
				copy of a valid driver's license or certificate of birth that the applicant is
				at least eighteen years of age;
3.
				Evidence from the applicant of attendance at training provided by the state or
				state-approved online course and passage of the North Dakota installation
				program examination at the next available training provided by the
				state;
4. Proof of contractor's
				liability insurance in an amount not less than two hundred fifty thousand
				dollars. This insurance policy shall contain a provision for the immediate
				notification of the division upon cancellation; and
5. A letter of credit, certificate of deposit
				issued by a licensed financial institution, or surety bond issued by an
				authorized insurer in the amount of ten thousand dollars for the performance of
				installation pursuant to the manufacturer's installation instructions. A
				provision shall be included for the immediate notification of the division upon
				cancellation.
The application for registration as a manufactured home
				  installer shall be submitted on a form provided by the division and shall be
				  notarized and verified by a declaration signed under penalty of perjury by the
				  applicant. The division shall make the application and declaration available
				  for public inspection.
The registration period is from July first of each year
				  through June thirtieth of the following year. All registrations expire on the
				  same date of each year, whether or not the registration is issued for all or a
				  portion of the registration period, and registration fees will be prorated
				  based on the date of approval for registration. A registered installer will be
				  required to attend training every three years provided by the state and pass
				  the written test that is given every three years .
Persons employed by a registered installer, as well as
				  persons employed by an entity employing a registered installer, are not
				  required to register when performing installation functions under the direct
				  onsite supervision of a registered installer. The registered installer shall be
				  responsible for supervising all employees and for the proper and competent
				  performance of all employees working under the registered installer's
				  supervision.
Any registered installer seeking to renew registration shall,
				  at the time of applying for renewal, provide proof of liability insurance and
				  letter of credit, certificate of deposit, or surety bond to run concurrent with
				  the registration period.
Registered installers shall allow and pay for periodic
				  oversight inspections arranged by the division to monitor the installer's
				  performance in complying with the program and registration requirements. The
				  frequency of oversight inspections will be based on the findings of the
				  inspections. The division may also arrange for the inspection of any
				  manufactured home installation performed by a registered installer. This may
				  also occur as the result of a consumer complaint.
