A nationally coordinated licensing enforcement effort by the National Association of State Contractors Licensing Agencies (NASCLA) across 10 states and the District of Columbia netted 683 non-compliant parties. The effort, which spanned three weeks in June, focused on unlicensed activity in Arizona, California, Washington, D.C., Florida, Mississippi, Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon, Rhode Island, Texas, and Utah, according to a news release.
The goal of the enforcement effort was to promote consumer and public protection through the licensing and registration of contractors, according to the NASCLA. The initiative provided state members the opportunity to protect consumers, deter illegal construction activity, and level the playing field for legitimate contractors in the construction industry. State agencies issued administrative citations and criminal notices to contractors in violation and, where necessary, initiated additional investigations.
