When is a business organization "unlicensed" for purposes of s. 489.128?

Correct Answer

C) When it has no primary or secondary qualifying agent for the scope of work under the contract

Section 489.128(1)(a) states the test for each kind of party: an individual is unlicensed without "a license required by this part concerning the scope of the work to be performed under the contract", and "a business organization is unlicensed if the business organization does not have a primary or secondary qualifying agent in accordance with this part concerning the scope of the work to be performed under the contract." Scope matters as much as the existence of a licence.

Answer Options
A
When any of its officers personally lacks a contractor licence
B
When it has not registered with the Division of Corporations
C
When it has no primary or secondary qualifying agent for the scope of work under the contract
D
When its qualifying agent has not completed the current biennium’s continuing education hours
