Who is the responsible managing employee (RME) of a company license?

The person who handles finances
The person who qualified the company for its license
The owner of the company
The project manager of the construction site

The correct answer is: The person who qualified the company for its license

The responsible managing employee (RME) of a company license is defined as the individual who fulfills the necessary qualifications for the company to obtain its contractor license. This individual must hold the appropriate contractor’s license for the specific classification that the company has been authorized to operate under. The RME is accountable for the company’s compliance with contractor licensing laws and regulations, ensuring the company operates within the legal framework set forth by the California Contractors State License Board. The role of the RME is pivotal as they serve as the main point of contact between the company and the licensing board. Their qualifications, usually including experience and a valid contractor's license, are critically assessed during the licensing process. Therefore, the identification of the RME is not attributed to roles such as being an owner or managing day-to-day operations, but instead focuses on the qualifications necessary for the company’s licensure.
