A home improvement salesperson registration is tied to what?
Explanation
B&P §7152(b) requires the salesperson to register with the board, and §7152(c) provides that, subject to §7154, the registered salesperson may be employed by one or more home improvement contractors — while requiring the salesperson, before soliciting, to identify to the owner or tenant the business name and license number of the contractor being represented for that transaction, failure to do which is cause for discipline under §7155. (a) and (d) tie the registration to a customer or a job, which is the usual misconception; the registration follows the person. (c) confuses the address carried on the registration record with what the registration actually authorizes.
