A subcontractor’s certificate is on inactive status. What may it contract for?

Correct Answer

D) Nothing; a certificate authorises contracting only while it is on active status

Section 489.115(2)(b): "Certification allows the certificateholder to engage in contracting only for the type of work covered by the certificate and only while the certificate is on active status." Inactive is a status a licensee elects; it preserves the licence and suspends the authority to work under it.

Answer Options
A
Work in the county where the subcontractor maintains its principal office
B
Work within its own classification, since the certificate has not been revoked or suspended
C
Work already under contract when the certificate went inactive
D
Nothing; a certificate authorises contracting only while it is on active status

Why This Is the Correct Answer

Section 489.115(2)(b): "Certification allows the certificateholder to engage in contracting only for the type of work covered by the certificate and only while the certificate is on active status." Inactive is a status a licensee elects; it preserves the licence and suspends the authority to work under it.
