(1) An
alarm system contractor shall meet all of the following requirements in order
to receive licensure from the department and will continue to meet all
requirements throughout the period of licensure. The contractor shall notify
the department, in writing, within 30 calendar days if the contractor fails to
meet any requirement for licensure.
a. The
contractor designates one or more responsible managing employees as provided in
rule 661-277.3 (100C).

complete operations liability insurance for the layout, installation, repair,

(1) The carrier
of any insurance coverage maintained to meet this requirement shall notify the
department 30 days prior to the effective date of cancellation or reduction of
the coverage.
(2) The contractor
shall cease operation immediately if the insurance coverage required by this
subrule is no longer in force and other insurance coverage meeting the
requirements of this subrule is not in force. A contractor shall not initiate
any installation of an alarm system that cannot reasonably be expected to be
completed prior to the effective date of the cancellation of the insurance
coverage required by this subrule and of which the contractor has received
notice, unless new insurance coverage meeting the requirements of this subrule
has been obtained and will be in force upon cancellation of the prior
coverage.

contractor maintains its current registration as a contractor in accordance
with Iowa Code chapter 91C and any rules promulgated thereunder, and provides a

d. The
contractor maintains compliance with all other applicable provisions of law
related to operation in the state of Iowa and of any political subdivision in
which the contractor is performing work.

to the endorsement for which the licensee is renewing.
(3) An alarm system contractor license may be
issued without examination to a person licensed in other jurisdictions if the
conditions of Iowa Code section
