If a person who passed the roofing licensing examination is no longer with the business, what must the licensed roofing contractor do?

When a licensed roofing contractor experiences a change in personnel, particularly if the individual who passed the roofing licensing examination is no longer with the business, it is essential to notify the regulatory authority of the new designated person. This requirement ensures that the business remains compliant with state regulations and continues to operate within the legal framework.

The significance of this process lies in the accountability and tracking of qualified personnel in the roofing industry. Regulatory bodies need to verify that a qualified individual is still associated with the business to maintain standards of safety, quality, and legality in roofing practices.

In contrast, simply hiring a new employee without notifying the regulator would leave the business non-compliant, potentially affecting its ability to legally operate. Taking the examination again as a business may not be necessary if there are already qualified persons associated with the business, and closing the business permanently would be an extreme measure that is unnecessary when the proper procedures can be followed. Therefore, notifying the regulator of the newly appointed person is the correct and required action.
