A licensee willfully and deliberately disregards state and local building laws. What does §7110 make of that?
Explanation
B&P §7110 makes willful or deliberate disregard and violation of state or local building laws a cause for disciplinary action, and the same section reaches safety laws, labor laws, compensation insurance laws, the Unemployment Insurance Code, and the Subletting and Subcontracting Fair Practices Act. (a) treats a public duty as waivable by the owner, which it is not. (b) and (c) assume the two enforcement systems are exclusive; the building department enforces the code on the project, and the Registrar acts against the license for the same conduct, without waiting for the local agency.
