Section 0680-01-.09 - CHANGE IN MODE OF OPERATION

(1) Whenever a partnership licensed as a contractor dissolves, no former member of the partnership shall further undertake contracting before filing a new application with the Board and receiving a license.

(2) In the case of a merger, purchase by non-stockholders of the majority interest, reorganization pursuant to a bankruptcy proceeding, or any other type of change in mode of operation of an entity engaged in contracting, the entity shall make written application to the Board and obtain a new license before further undertaking contracting.

(3) Individuals or entities seeking a new license pursuant to T.C.A. § 62-6-111(f) or (g) shall submit a letter which addresses the requirements of that section. In addition, the applicant shall submit an affidavit that all liabilities of the entity were satisfied or will be satisfied by the individual or entity.

(4) In the event of a change in mode of operation as outlined in T.C.A. § 62-6-111(e), the qualified agent or majority stockholder must appear before the Board unless specifically waived by the Board.

(5) In the event of any change in operation, the licensed entity in question shall have ninety (90) days from the date of the change in mode of operation to submit either an application for a mode change, if there are no changes in ownership or officers, or a new application if there are such changes. Such applications for change in mode of operation may be reviewed and approved consistent with Rule 0680-01-.02. The entity may not bid on or enter into new contracts until a new or revised license has been issued; however, the entity may continue to work on already existing contracts that were entered into prior to the change in mode of operation, provided the application is made within the ninety (90) day period.
