Which of the following best describes the Arizona ROC's authority regarding contractor licensing?
Correct Answer
A) Full regulatory authority including licensing, investigation, and disciplinary action
The Arizona ROC has comprehensive regulatory authority including licensing, investigation, and disciplinary actions under Arizona Revised Statutes Title 32.
Why This Is the Correct Answer
The Arizona Registrar of Contractors holds full regulatory authority under Arizona Revised Statutes Title 32, including the power to issue licenses, investigate complaints, conduct hearings, impose penalties, and take disciplinary action such as suspension or revocation.
Why the Other Options Are Wrong
Option B: Advisory role only with no enforcement power
The ROC is not merely advisory. It has enforceable statutory power to suspend, revoke, and impose fines — advisory-only bodies do not carry enforcement authority.
Option C: Can issue licenses but cannot revoke them
The ROC can both issue and revoke licenses. Revoking a license is one of the ROC's primary disciplinary tools under A.R.S. Title 32.
Option D: Limited to investigating complaints filed by consumers
While investigating consumer complaints is one ROC function, its authority is far broader and includes proactive enforcement, licensing, and disciplinary action that does not require a consumer complaint to initiate.
Memory Technique
Remember 'ROC = Regulate, Order, Control' — the ROC regulates through licensing, orders investigations, and controls outcomes through discipline. It is not a passive or advisory body.
