§444-9  Licenses required.  No person

this chapter and the rules and regulations of the contractors license board. [L

Case Notes



 



  Pursuant to this section, a general engineering or building
contractor is prohibited from doing any work that would require it to act as a
specialty contractor in an area the general contractor was not licensed to
operate; where project required plumbing work classified as C-37 specialty
work, general contractor, which did not hold a C-37 specialty license, could
not do work in that area; court thus erred in holding that project did not
require work in the C-37 classification and that general contractor did not
have to engage a specialty contractor holding a C-37 specialty license.  97 H.
450, 40 P.3d 73.
