- A. The registrar shall read each complaint received and shall enter a notation in the individual roofing contractor’s record showing the date that the verified complaint was received and the nature of the complaint. The registrar shall notify the roofing contractor against whom the complaint is made, in writing, within five (5) days of the receipt of the written complaint. The roofing contractor shall have ten (10) days to respond, in writing, to the registrar. If a response to the complaint is received by the registrar, whether admitting or denying the basis of the complaint, a copy of both the complaint and the response shall be referred to the district attorney. If no response is received, the complaint shall still be referred to the district attorney. In addition, the registrar shall enter a notation in the individual roofing contractor’s record showing the date that the roofing contractor’s response was received, if any, and whether the response admitted or denied the basis of the complaint.
- B. Following referral of a complaint to the district attorney, if the roofing contractor is adjudicated by the court for an act or omission specified in subsection A of Section 14 of this act, or upon a conviction for any violation of the provisions of this act, the registrar, when ordered by the court, shall suspend, revoke or deny the roofing contractor's registration for the period of time specified by the court, and if the court orders the registration suspended, revoked or denied, and yet fails to set the term of such suspension, revocation or denial, the period shall be six (6) months.
- C. The registrar shall not renew, reinstate, or issue a new roofing contractor registration to any person subject to any term of denial, suspension or revocation until such term has been completed, and thereafter, the person makes application and pays required fees pursuant to Sections 8 and 12 of this act.
- D. It shall be unlawful for a person to obtain or attempt to obtain a roofing contractor registration certificate under any other name during any period when the roofing contractor’s registration is suspended or revoked. Upon conviction of a violation of this subsection, the person shall be guilty of a misdemeanor as provided in Section 3 of this act. A business firm, partnership, association, corporation, limited liability company, or other group or combination thereof acting as a unit whose registration certificate is suspended or revoked includes all of the members, partners, officers, and agents acting under that roofing contractor registration certificate when such persons are specified on and did sign the application or renewal form.
