Amends existing law to provide for inactive registration status and to remove a provision regarding gross negligence and reckless conduct.

This legislation aims to allow registered contractors the option to place their registration on inactive status, relieving the registrant from the requirement to maintain insurance during this period. The proposed legislation would require a registrant to provide proof of current insurance to return to active status. Additionally, the removal from the grounds for discipline of gross negligence and reckless conduct intends to eliminate a provision which is difficult and costly to establish, as well as enforce, and ultimately only bans bad actors from holding a registration, not from working in the contracting industry.
