limited technician designated is also employed by any other contractor or
employer. In the event that an applicant for a contractor license has

If the responsible master electrician or power limited
technician for the contractor is an owner, partner, member, or officer of the
company and fails to renew a license or a license is suspended or revoked, the
contractor license is invalid and the contractor shall cease and desist from
performing any electrical work until the master electrician or power limited
technician license is renewed or reinstated, or a certificate of responsible
licensed individual identifying a replacement responsible master electrician or
power limited technician is submitted. Upon renewal or reinstatement of the
master electrician's or power limited technician's license, or acquiring a
replacement responsible master electrician or power limited technician, the
contractor may request reinstatement of the license. If the responsible master
electrician or power limited technician for the contractor is an employee of
the company and fails to renew a license or a license is suspended or revoked,
the contractor has 30 days to secure a properly licensed responsible master
electrician or power limited technician. If the contractor is unable to acquire
a replacement responsible master electrician or power limited technician, or if
the master electrician or power limited technician license is not renewed or
reinstated within 30 days from the date of the expiration, suspension, or
revocation, the contractor's license is invalid and the contractor shall cease
and desist from performing any electrical work. Upon renewal or reinstatement
of the responsible master electrician's or power limited technician's license,
or the contractor submitting a replacement certificate of responsible master
electrician or power limited technician, the contractor may request
