An original contractor's license application generally becomes void if the applicant fails to complete requirements within what period after the application is accepted?

Explanation

CSLB rules give an applicant roughly one year from acceptance to finish everything the license requires — passing the examinations, filing the bond, and paying the initial fee — after which the application is void and the fees are forfeited. (a) and (b) borrow short deadlines that belong elsewhere, such as the §7083 periods for reporting changes of address and personnel, not to the life of an application. (c) stretches the window toward the §7068 ten-year experience lookback, which measures how old an applicant's experience may be and says nothing about the application.
