A fire protection contractor shall notify the commissioner of a change in contractor information. Contractor information is the current information that the commissioner has concerning a contractor. This information is based upon the information or items submitted by the contractor in its initial license application or updated change notices.
A notice of change must be made on a form provided or approved by the commissioner and must meet the following conditions:
The contractor shall submit the notice of change so that it is received by the commissioner before the change occurs, unless this is not possible, in which case the contractor shall submit the notice as soon as reasonable.
A fire protection contractor license may not be transferred from one person or organization to another. A successor contractor may not perform fire protection-related work until after the successor contractor has obtained another license. In addition, the successor contractor shall obtain a bond that is separate and distinct from the bond under the original license.
A contractor license issued to an individual, partnership, corporation, or limited liability company does not transfer to a new business entity created by a change in the form of ownership of the business.
A contractor license issued to a partnership becomes invalid when an original partner leaves the partnership or a new partner is brought into the partnership.
A contractor license issued to a corporation becomes invalid when the corporation is dissolved. A contractor license remains valid when a shareholder of the corporation or the name of the corporation is changed.
A contractor license issued to a limited liability company becomes invalid when the limited liability company is dissolved. A contractor license remains valid when a member of the limited liability company or the name of the limited liability company is changed.
