Under the "substantial supervision" requirement, a qualifying individual (RME or RMO) must be responsible for which of the following on behalf of the contractor licensee?
a.Personally performing all field labor
b.Reviewing only the company's marketing materials
c.Only signing the original license application
d.Exercising direct supervision and control of the licensee's construction operations to secure compliance with the contractor law
Explanation
B&P §7068.1 imposes a duty of "bona fide" or "substantial" supervision on the qualifier. The qualifier must actively direct and control the day-to-day construction operations of the license, not serve as a paper-only name. Renting out one's license violates this duty and is a separate crime.
