(1) As used in this section, “construction contractor license” means a license issued within the United States to engage in the business of construction contracting.
(2) The Construction Contractors Board may revoke, suspend or refuse to issue a license required under this chapter to a business if:
(a) The business owes a construction debt or has had a construction contractor license revoked or suspended;
(b) An owner, officer or responsible managing individual of the business owes a construction debt or has had a construction contractor license revoked or suspended;
(c) An owner, officer or responsible managing individual of the business was an owner, officer or responsible managing individual of another business at the time the other business incurred a construction debt that is owing or at the time of an event that resulted in the revocation or suspension of the other business’s construction contractor license; or
(d) The board determines that an owner, officer or responsible managing individual of the business is not fit for licensure, based upon information submitted under ORS 701.046 or discovered by a board investigation under ORS 701.225.
(3) The board may place a contractor on probation if a total of three or more complaints are filed with the board under ORS 701.139 within a 12-month period against the contractor or a former licensed construction contracting business in which the contractor held at least a 10 percent ownership interest, measured as determined by board rule. A contractor may not be placed on probation unless the board determines after investigation that it is likely that the contractor has caused harm to the complainants. The board may require a contractor that is placed on probation to develop a corrective action plan, to attend specific classes and to resolve outstanding complaints. The board may require a contractor that is placed on probation to take training and pass a test, both as described in ORS 701.122. The board shall take action to terminate the contractor’s license if the contractor is unwilling or unable to comply with the conditions of probation.
