§ 10-60. Same—Expiration.

(a)

All certificates of competency shall expire annually at 12:00 midnight on September 30.

(b)

Failure to renew a certificate of competency during September shall cause the certificate to become inoperative effective at midnight on September 30. It shall be unlawful for any person to engage or hold himself out as engaging in contracting under an inoperative certificate of competency.

(c)

A certificate of competency which is inoperative as the result of failure to renew shall be restored upon payment of the late renewal fee as prescribed by resolution of the board of county commissioners within 12 months of the expiration date.

(d)

If a certificate holder fails to renew his certificate of competency within 12 months of its expiration date, the certificate holder shall be required to reapply for a certificate of competency in the same manner as for an initial certificate of competency. A certificate holder who is required to register with the state must have continuing education within the five years from the date the certificate of competency expired or the certificate holder would have to retake the required examination which he had previously taken and obtained a passing score. A certificate holder who fails to renew his specialty contractor certificate of competency within 12 months of its expiration shall be required to reapply for a certificate of competency in the same manner as for an initial certificate of competency.

The board of county commissioners shall prescribe the application fee for such reapplication by resolution.

(e)

A certificate holder may apply for inactive status pursuant to section 10-61.
