A contractor's qualifying individual becomes permanently disabled. How long does the contractor have to replace them before the license becomes invalid?
Correct Answer
D) 90 days
Per B&P Code Section 7068.1, contractors have 90 days to replace a qualifying individual who becomes permanently disabled.
Why This Is the Correct Answer
Per B&P Code Section 7068.1, regardless of the reason for disassociation (voluntary departure, death, permanent disability, or otherwise), the contractor has 90 days to replace the qualifying individual. Failure to do so within 90 days renders the license invalid.
Why the Other Options Are Wrong
Option A: 30 days
30 days is incorrect. Thirty days is too short and does not reflect the statutory period under B&P Code Section 7068.1. This shorter timeframe may be confused with notification requirements for address or personnel changes.
Option B: 60 days
60 days is incorrect. Sixty days is a common timeframe in other licensing contexts but does not apply to qualifying individual replacement. Section 7068.1 specifies 90 days.
Option C: 120 days
120 days is incorrect. This exceeds the statutory 90-day window. CSLB does not provide a 120-day grace period for qualifying individual replacement under any circumstances.
Memory Technique
The 90-day rule for qualifying individuals: '90 days, no exceptions.' Whether they quit, die, or become disabled, the clock runs the same: 90 days to replace or the license goes invalid. Three months = three chances to recruit (month 1, 2, 3).
