				other entity that complies with requirements for such license in chapter 19.28

				electrical/telecommunications contractor's license for a period greater or less

				contractor's licenses that expire each month. The department may prorate the
				electrical/telecommunications contractor's license fee according to the license

				contractor's license. The license will plainly indicate the specialty licenses'
				codes included in the combination license. An administrator assigned to a
				telecommunications contractor must be certified as a telecommunications
				administrator. A combination license will not be issued for telecommunications
(09).

				revoked, or the owner notifies the department in writing that the company is no
				longer doing business in the state of Washington as an
				electrical/telecommunications contractor. Upon written request, the cash or
				security deposit will then be released by the department providing there is no
				pending legal action against the contractor under chapter 19.28 RCW of which
