What is the qualifying individual's core statutory duty toward the license he or she qualifies?

Explanation

B&P §7068.1(a) makes the qualifying individual — the RMO or RME — responsible for exercising supervision and control of the employer's or principal's construction operations to secure compliance with the license law and the board's regulations. (a) confuses supervision with signature authority; nothing requires the qualifier to execute the contracts. (b) imports the surety's job: the $25,000 qualifier's bond under §7071.9 answers to claimants, and the qualifier does not personally guarantee the firm's debts. (c) invents a controlling-ownership test — the ownership figures in this area are the 20 percent common ownership in §7068.1(a)(1) that lets one person qualify a second firm, and the 10 percent of voting stock in §7071.9(c) that waives the qualifier's bond.
