According to the B&P Code, a contractor's license becomes invalid if the qualifying individual is disassociated for more than:
Correct Answer
D) 90 days
Per B&P Code Section 7068.1, a license becomes invalid if the qualifying individual is disassociated for more than 90 days without replacement.
Why This Is the Correct Answer
Per B&P Code Section 7068.1, when a qualifying individual (RME or RMO) leaves or is disassociated from a contractor's business, the contractor has 90 days to find a replacement. If no replacement is found within 90 days, the license automatically becomes invalid.
Why the Other Options Are Wrong
Option A: 30 days
30 days is incorrect. This is too short a period. B&P Code Section 7068.1 gives contractors 90 days, not 30, to replace a qualifying individual.
Option B: 60 days
60 days is incorrect. While 60 days is a common timeframe in other CSLB rules, the specific period for qualifying individual disassociation under Section 7068.1 is 90 days.
Option C: 120 days
120 days is incorrect. This exceeds the statutory period. Allowing 120 days would give contractors more time than the law permits before the license becomes invalid.
Memory Technique
Remember '90 days = 3 months to find the third party.' The qualifying individual is the third essential party in the license structure (contractor + CSLB + qualifier). Three months for the third party.
