When a contractor license is held by a partnership and the qualifying individual is one of the general partners, the license is valid only:

Explanation

A licence belongs to an entity, and a partnership is defined by who is in it. §7065(b)(1)(B) requires every member of a partnership seeking licensure to be listed on the application as a member of the personnel of record, and §7065(c)(2) lets the partnership qualify by the appearance of a general partner or of a responsible managing employee. Change the partners and the licensed entity is no longer quite the one on the record, which is why §7083(a) requires written notice to the registrar within 90 days of any change to recorded information, personnel expressly included, why §7083(b) makes a late notice effective only when it reaches the board's headquarters, and why §7083(c) makes the failure a ground for discipline. §7075.1(a) blocks the obvious shortcut by making a licence untransferable, although §7075.1(b)(2) allows the number to be reissued to a partnership on application where there is no change in the partners or the partnership structure. Nothing in the article limits a licence by county as (a) supposes, to a year as (c) supposes, or to residential work as (d) supposes.
