A person sells home improvement contracts for a licensed contractor away from the contractor's fixed place of business. What must that person hold?
Explanation
B&P §7152(a) defines the home improvement salesperson as a person engaged in soliciting, selling, negotiating, or executing home improvement contracts on behalf of a licensed home improvement contractor, and §7152(b) requires that person to register with the board; §7153 makes acting as one without a current registration a misdemeanor. (b) overshoots: a registration lets the person sell, and a license is what lets a firm perform the work. (c) borrows the §7071.9 qualifier's bond, which belongs to the person qualifying a license. (d) is the common arrangement the registration requirement defeats, since it is the soliciting and negotiating that trigger it.
