In considering the combined education and experience qualifications of applicants, the board shall consider engineering teaching, land surveying teaching, each year of satisfactory completion of undergraduate college education, advanced degrees in engineering and advanced degrees in land surveying in establishing the applicants’ minimum composite knowledge and skill. The mere execution, as a contractor, of work designed by a professional engineer, or the supervision of the construction of such work as a foreman or superintendent, shall not be deemed to be the practice of engineering, but if such experience, in the opinion of the board, has involved responsible supervision of a character that will tend to expand the engineering knowledge and skill of the applicant, the board may in its discretion give such credit therefor as it may deem proper. Any person having the necessary qualifications prescribed in this chapter that otherwise entitle him for initial licensure or certification shall be eligible although he may not be practicing his profession at the time of making his application. The board may postpone acting on an application for certification or licensure if disciplinary or criminal action related to the applicant’s practice has been taken or is pending in any other jurisdiction. The board may postpone the notification of examination results to applicants on any examination if there is any unresolved examination irregularity involving the applicant. The board may investigate and adjudicate the validity of examination irregularities and if the examination irregularities are substantiated, the board may invalidate the examination result of the applicant.

(1) An applicant for registration as a contractor shall submit an application under oath upon a form to be prescribed by the board and which shall include the following information pertaining to the applicant: (a)  Social security number for natural persons or employer tax identification number for other persons; (b)  The name and address under which the applicant conducts business; (c)  The name and address of each principal, member, partner, shareholder, or any other person claiming an ownership interest in the business entity for which registration is being applied for; (d)  A certificate issued by an insurance company authorized to do business in the state of Idaho or other satisfactory proof that the applicant has procured and has in effect worker’s compensation insurance or a statement by the contractor as to why such certificate or coverage is not required for the applicant; (e)  A certificate issued by an insurance company authorized to do business in the state of Idaho that the applicant has procured and has in effect a general liability policy, including products and completed operations insurance covering the applicant’s construction operations in the sum of not less than three hundred thousand dollars ($300,000) single limit. The name of the insurance company, the insured and policy number shall be made available only to persons or their insurers stating that they possess a claim against the contractor; (f)  A statement of the type of construction to be undertaken by the applicant, or such other information as may be required by the board pursuant to administrative rules adopted by the board; and (g)  A statement that the applicant and each principal, member, partner, shareholder or any other person claiming an ownership interest in the business entity for which registration is being applied for herein has never been denied, surrendered or had revoked a contractor’s license or registration privilege in this or any other state or, if a license or registration privilege has been denied, surrendered or revoked in this or any other state, an explanation of any such denial, surrender or revocation. (2)  Along with such application, the applicant shall submit a registration fee as may be set by the board to cover its administrative and enforcement costs, not to exceed one hundred fifty dollars ($150) per year. (3)  An application for registration that has been denied by the board shall be considered a contested case as provided for inchapter 52, title 67, Idaho Code, and shall be subject to the provisions of that chapter as well as the administrative rules adopted by the board governing contested cases.

Idaho Code 54-5211

(1) A registration shall be issued for a period of not less than twenty-four (24) months nor more than five (5) years, as determined by the board. Each registration shall set forth its expiration date on the face of the certificate. No less than thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of such registration, the board shall notify a registered contractor that such registration is set to expire. (2)  A registered contractor in this state who is not engaging in business as a contractor as defined in this chapter may be issued an inactive registration. The registered contractor must submit the fee set by board rule and a written request for an inactive registration. Each inactive registration shall be issued for a period of twenty-four (24) months. A registered contractor holding an inactive registration may not engage in business as a contractor in this state and does not need to keep current insurance coverage as required by this chapter. A registered contractor wishing to convert an inactive registration to an active registration must pay the fee as defined by board rule and provide proof of current insurance coverage as required by this chapter. (3)  Reinstatement of a lapsed registration shall require the payment of a renewal fee and reinstatement fee in accordance with the administrative rules adopted by the board. The failure of any registered contractor to renew his registration as required herein and by the administrative rules of the board shall not deprive such person of the right to renewal upon subsequent application for registration and payment of the required board fees.

Idaho Code 54-5213

(1) On and after January 1, 2007, no incorporated municipality, county, alternative form of local government, or other municipal or political corporation or subdivision of this state shall implement its own program for the registration or licensure of construction contractors. (2)  A contractor may provide a verified copy of any current and unrestricted license, registration, or other type of certification granted to the contractor by any incorporated municipality, county, alternative form of local government, or other municipal or political corporation or subdivision of this state issued pursuant to a duly adopted and enacted ordinance prior to January 1, 2007, to the board for review, along with a reciprocal registration fee not to exceed fifty dollars ($50.00), as determined by board rule, which is necessary for the administration and processing of such application. If the review indicates that the license, registration or certification was granted under provisions that were not less stringent than those provided by this chapter, the applicant shall be issued a registration based upon reciprocal registration.

Idaho Code 54-5214

(1) Upon receipt of a duly completed application, together with the registration fee, and after such verification process as the board may from time to time deem appropriate by rule, a certificate of registration and a wallet-sized card showing the registrant’s name and showing a registration number shall be issued, commencing on the date of issue and continuing in effect for a period of not less than one (1) year nor more than five (5) years, as determined by the board. Application for renewal of registration shall be filed on or before thirty (30) days prior to the expiration date. The board shall issue a certificate of registration to an applicant upon the applicant’s compliance with the registration requirements of this chapter. Certificates shall not be assignable nor transferable. Upon any change of ownership or a change of address of a registered contractor entity, the board shall be notified by such entity within thirty (30) days. A certificate of registration, without the payment of a registration fee, shall be issued to any person who is granted a public works contractor license or a construction manager license, so long as those requirements for licensure in Idaho are met. (2)  A contractor registered pursuant to this chapter shall prominently display his contractor registration number for public view in his place of business, on advertising, contracts, permits, company or business letterheads, and purchase orders and subcontracts within sixty (60) days of issue of registration.

Idaho Code 54-5215

(1) The board may investigate any person engaged in contracting within the state of Idaho or any person believed to have acted as a contractor without being duly registered as required by this chapter. Upon receipt of a written complaint from a person who claims to have been injured or defrauded by such person, or upon information received by the board, the board shall perform an investigation of the facts alleged against such person. If the board investigation reveals that the facts alleged or received are sufficient to proceed with a formal action, the board may authorize the filing of an administrative complaint against such person and may seek injunctive relief prohibiting such person from engaging in construction. (2)  The board shall have the authority to issue informal letters of reprimand, suspend or revoke a registration, impose a civil penalty in an amount not to exceed one thousand dollars ($1,000) or to issue a formal reprimand against any registered contractor if, after an opportunity for a hearing, the board determines that: (a)  A contractor has violated any of the provisions of this chapter including, but not limited to, failure to keep current or provide insurance coverage as required by this chapter; (b)  A contractor has violated any of the provisions ofchapter 6, title 48, Idaho Code, relating to consumer protection including, but not limited to, making fraudulent misrepresentations to consumers; (c)  A contractor employed fraud or deception, made a misrepresentation or misstatement, or employed any unlawful means in applying for or securing registration as a contractor; (d)  A contractor employed fraud or deception, made a misrepresentation or misstatement, or employed any unlawful means in applying for or securing a building permit or other permits for construction of any type; (e)  A contractor failed to pay the required fee for registration as provided in this chapter; (f)  A contractor has been convicted of or has engaged in conduct constituting a violation of public laws, ordinances or rules of this state, or any subdivision thereof, relevant to contracting, reflecting on the registered contractor’s ability or qualifications to continue contracting for other persons, and making the registered contractor a threat to the public safety, health or well-being; (g)  A contractor has engaged in any other conduct whether of the same or a different character than hereinabove specified which constitutes dishonest or dishonorable dealings; (h)  A contractor had a license, registration or certification revoked, suspended or refused by this or another state, territory, incorporated municipality, county, alternative form of local government, or other municipal or political corporation or subdivision of this or another state, or omitted such information from any application to the board, or failed to divulge such information when requested by the board; (i)  A contractor has been adjudged mentally incompetent by a court of competent jurisdiction; or (j)  A contractor interfered with an investigation or disciplinary proceeding by a willful misrepresentation of facts or by the use of threats or harassment against any person to prevent such person from providing evidence in a disciplinary proceeding, investigation or other legal action instituted in accordance with this chapter. (3)  A contractor whose registration has been revoked or suspended shall be required to return his certificate of registration within the time determined by the board or, upon a failure to do so, shall be liable for civil penalties as set by the board but not to exceed fifty dollars ($50.00) per day for each day the certificate is not returned after the expiration of the period allowed. (4)  The suspension or revocation of a registration shall be considered a contested case as provided for inchapter 52, title 67, Idaho Code, and shall be subject to the provisions of that chapter as well as the administrative rules adopted by the board governing contested cases. (5)  The assessment of attorney’s fees and costs incurred in the investigation and prosecution or defense of a person under this section shall be governed by the provisions of section12-117(5), Idaho Code.

Idaho Code 54-5217

(1) Any person acting in the capacity of a contractor within the meaning of this chapter without a current registration as herein required shall be guilty of a misdemeanor and shall, upon conviction thereof, be punished by a fine of not to exceed one thousand dollars ($1,000) or by imprisonment in the county jail for a term not to exceed six (6) months, or by both such fine and imprisonment, in the discretion of the court. (2)  No person engaged in the business or acting in the capacity of a contractor, unless otherwise exempt, may bring or maintain any action in any court of this state for the collection of compensation for the performance of any act or contract for which registration is required by this chapter without alleging and proving that he was a duly registered contractor, or that he was otherwise exempt as provided for in this chapter, at all times during the performance of such act or contract.
