§ 150.520.1. Types of discipline.

An order of the board finding a respondent guilty of misconduct shall include one (1) or more of the following disciplinary measures:

(a)

Reprimand. The board may order a reprimand for minor misconduct by a respondent. A reprimand shall state findings of the board that the conduct of the respondent, falls below the acceptable standards of conduct in the business of contracting but does not justify suspension or revocation of the competency card. A memorandum of such reprimand shall thereafter be made a part of the record of the proceedings and a part of the respondent's record maintained by the building department of the city.

(b)

Suspension. The board may suspend the certificate of competency of the respondent for a definite period of time. During such suspension, the respondent shall not requalify to obtain a certificate of competency within the city. Upon the expiration of the suspension period and the satisfaction of all conditions accompanying the suspension, the respondent shall become eligible to apply for reinstatement of his certificate of competency. If any disciplinary actions(s) have resulted in a suspension of one hundred eighty (180) days, or longer, the application shall be subject to the same requirements as though the applicant were applying for an original certificate of competency, including the payment of fees.

(c)

Revocation. The board may revoke the respondent's certificate of competency. No application for reinstatement or the issuance of a new certificate of competency may be accepted or considered by the board within five (5) years after the date of revocation.

(d)

Other certificates. If the board suspends any certificate of competency held by any contractor it may, simultaneously, suspend or revoke any other certificate of competency issued by the city to that contractor.

(e)

Work in progress. The board shall permit any disciplined contractor to complete projects for which a building permit has been issued, even though the competency card upon which said permit(s) was issued has been suspended or revoked.
