If a contractor does not complete a job, what action can the board NOT take?

The board cannot require an increase in general liability in response to a contractor not completing a job. General liability insurance is typically a prerequisite for obtaining a contractor’s license and is meant to protect against claims related to injuries or damages resulting from the contractor's operations. Once a contractor is licensed, the terms of their general liability insurance policy are generally not subject to board modification based solely on job performance.

In contrast, fining a contractor for failure to complete a job, suspending or revoking their license due to performance issues, and increasing the amount of the surety bond are actions that the board has authority to pursue when a contractor fails to fulfill their obligations. These measures directly address accountability and ensure that contractors adhere to the standards and regulations set by the board.
