Under ORS 701, what is the minimum experience requirement for obtaining an Oregon CCB contractor license?
Correct Answer
A) 2 years of construction experience
ORS 701 requires a minimum of 2 years of construction experience to qualify for a CCB contractor license in Oregon.
Why This Is the Correct Answer
Option A is correct. ORS 701 requires applicants to demonstrate a minimum of 2 years of construction experience as a qualifying condition for obtaining a CCB contractor license.
Why the Other Options Are Wrong
Option B: 3 years of construction experience
3 years of experience is not the required minimum under ORS 701. Requiring 3 years overstates the statutory mandate by one full year.
Option C: 4 years of construction experience
4 years of experience is not the required minimum. This amount is more than double the statutory requirement and is not tied to any CCB license tier.
Option D: 1 year of construction experience
1 year of experience is insufficient under ORS 701. While it may be a common starting point for workers, the statute requires twice that amount to qualify for licensure.
Memory Technique
Picture a pair of boots (2 boots = 2 years) that you need to walk into the CCB office and get your license. No single boot and no four-boot pile — just a pair.
