What can the registrar require from a person whose license was suspended or revoked for disciplinary actions?

A new license fee
A bond of $15,000
A bond that can be up to 10 times the license bond
A waiting period of two years

The correct answer is: A bond that can be up to 10 times the license bond

The registrar has the authority to require a bond that can be up to 10 times the amount of the original license bond from individuals whose contractor license has been suspended or revoked due to disciplinary actions. This provision is in place to ensure that the contractor demonstrates financial responsibility and provides protection for consumers. By imposing a significantly higher bond requirement, the registrar aims to mitigate the risk of potential harm caused by the contractor’s past behavior, thus ensuring a higher standard of accountability. While options such as a new license fee, a standard bond, or a waiting period might seem plausible, they do not address the specific intent behind the disciplinary measures. The use of an increased bond is a mechanism designed to safeguard public interest and reinforce the importance of compliance with licensing laws. The bond serves as a financial guarantee that the contractor will adhere to the legal and professional standards required in the industry, especially after a previous violation.
