1. For all initial contractor registration applications and other contractor registration applications not submitted through the Department's online application process, the 30-day deadline for issuance by the Department of a certificate of registration shall be waived; and

2. For all renewal contractor registration applications submitted through the Department's online application process, the Department shall automatically issue an interim approval, which shall be effective for 120 days.

i. At the end of the 120-day interim approval period, the Department shall fully evaluate each renewal contractor registration application and either grant or deny the application.

(b) An initial certificate of registration shall be valid only for a period of one calendar year from the date of registration.

(c) Registration shall be renewed not less than 30 calendar days prior to the expiration date of the immediately preceding registration.

(d) Each contractor shall, after the bid is made and prior to the awarding of the public works contract, submit to the public entity for whom the work is to be performed the certificates of registration for all subcontractors listed in the bid proposal.

(e) A certificate of registration shall not be transferable.

(f) A registered contractor who allows his or her contractor registration certificate to expire prior to attempting to renew same, must subsequently apply for a registration certificate as if for the first time.
