Reason requestiDll: to 8peak:
On 10130/08 a contractor Iic:eosing officer told me my license bad expired in 2006. I was
not aware thai it bad expired because eyery year I send in my renewaIa whm I receive the
notice in the mail, I was timed $300.00 lIIId.t.d to stop worlt that day. I called the
contractor liceusing office the n=.t day lIIId they told me it was expired md I could DOt
renew my license because it had been over thirteen moDlbs. I cxpIainod that I nevei'
received a notice in the mail regarding tbe reoewallll1d never got a 1etter that it was
suspended. In the two years since my license hils expired I have DOt recciwd anything
from the con1ractors licensing office for renewal or suspension. 1bcy said that there was
nothing they could do ond that I woWd have to mKe all the exams in order to get my
license back.
Action asking the CollllDinien to take:
I would Iikc the Commission grant the request to ~ my license as it was by paying
all the back fees and renewals for each year I did not renew.
If the above is not possible, I am asking the Commission to grant me a temporary
reinslatement of my license for at least two months so that I may have time to study and
take the exams De(' ry for the licellllC renewal so tha1 I will not loose income in the
time it takes me to pass the exams.
Upon the decision of the Cmnmi..,ion regardless of the outcome of my request, the
Commill<lion needs to have the conlraclDr's licensing dep81'llu<<lt c:Jumae it's policies on
notices of renewals and suspensions of Jicc:nxs. This needs to be done to IIIlIkc sure tbat
the contractors are notified com::c:t1y. Letter m&iling,"l need to be -tnry lIIId phone
calls would be a good way to back of the letter mailings, in the event of lost mail. They
also need a sySll:m that records the date they lICI1t out each mAiling lIIld made phone calls
that way they have record that they lICI1t DOtification, especially for the suspensions. At
the CUlrent time they cannot prove that they sent me a remewaJ notice and SUSJICIIllion
letter. All other licensing offices semI out mail notification for mcmths in advaooe of
renewal, driver licenses and state licenses send notification out ar Ieast three IIlDI1ths in
advance and every month until renewal.
