What is true regarding a contractor's responsibility for their license?

A contractor can let anyone use their license
It is the contractor's responsibility to keep it valid
A contractor's license is transferable
No renewal is required once issued

The correct answer is: It is the contractor's responsibility to keep it valid

A contractor's responsibility for their license primarily involves maintaining its validity. This means that contractors must ensure they adhere to all regulatory requirements, such as timely renewal, continuing education, and compliance with applicable laws and regulations. The licensing authority expects contractors to take proactive measures to keep their licenses in good standing, thus allowing them to operate legally within the construction industry. Choosing to allow anyone to use their license or transferring it would violate regulatory guidelines and undermine the integrity of the licensing system. Additionally, while licenses do not last indefinitely without renewal, they often require periodic updating and renewal to ensure that the contractor remains qualified and informed about changes in laws and standards. This emphasizes the importance of individual accountability in maintaining the license and upholding industry standards.
