A contractor in good standing and holding a current license issued prior to January 1, 2004, may renew his or her license without testing, if all other contractor requirements in Chapter 14 of the City Ordinance are met. 2. A person who has not held a license in oVer 12 months or kept current a contractor's license will be required to take the ICC test. 3. A contractor whose license has been suspended or revoked will be required to take the appropriate ICC test for relicensure. 4. A contractor found doing work other than emergency work without a license will be required to take the ICC test and pay a penalty double the amount of the building permit fee, but no less than $150.00. 5. Remove the three-permit rule for out of town contractors as they can now submit plans and then test within 48 hours of being notified of the testing requirements. 6. The insurance requirements should remain at $300,000.00 for a General Liability Policy that includes Products and Completed Operations as one of the overages.
