Organización y LicenciasPregunta 1464 de 1632
A licensed contractor's license lapses due to suspension during part of a project. Under section 7031, what risk does the contractor face regarding pay for work done while unlicensed?
a.None, because the contractor was licensed when the contract was signed
b.A civil penalty only, with the contract price still fully collectible
c.Being barred from recovering compensation for the unlicensed period
d.Losing only the profit margin, while costs remain recoverable
Explicación
B&P §7031 requires a contractor to be duly licensed at all times during performance, and bars an action to collect compensation for work performed while unlicensed — the owner may also sue to recover everything already paid. (a) is the misconception §7031 was amended to close: licensure at signing is not enough. (b) treats the consequence as monetary discipline rather than a bar on the contract action. (d) invents a cost-versus-profit split; the bar reaches all compensation, not the margin alone.
