Business & LicensingQuestion 519 of 1605
A contractor obtained his Class C-10 license by submitting forged journeyman certifications and a falsified experience affidavit. Once the Registrar discovers the fraud, what is the most likely outcome under §7106?
a.Only a written warning since the work performed has been adequate
b.Reduction of the bond requirement
c.Disciplinary action including suspension or revocation of the license for obtaining the license by fraud or misrepresentation
d.Mandatory automatic reinstatement after six months
Explanation
B&P §7106 makes the procurement of a contractor's license by fraud or misrepresentation grounds for disciplinary action, including license revocation. The remedy is corrective discipline, not a mere warning, because the license itself was obtained illegitimately.
