50-6,132. Same; roofing contractor registration certificate renewal; reinstatement fee. (a) (1) Any roofing contractor registration certificate issued under this act may be renewed for each successive fiscal year by obtaining from the attorney general a certificate of renewal. To obtain a certificate of renewal, the person shall file with the attorney general a renewal application by June 30 and pay the renewal fee. The application for renewal shall require statements under oath that the applicant has or has not been convicted of any felony offense, and the nature of such offense, since issuance of the prior registration certificate, and whether or not the applicant has been adjudicated by a court of competent jurisdiction for any violation of this act or any act or omission specified in subsection (a) of K.S.A. 2018 Supp. 50-6,133, and amendments thereto.

(2) The applicant shall include with the renewal application a copy of the certificate of liability insurance, proof of workers' compensation coverage, unless exempt or self-insured under the workers' compensation act, and, if applicable, a copy of the current registration certificate required by law for roofing contractors and a current tax clearance certificate or letter from the Kansas department of revenue.

(b) The attorney general shall refuse to renew a roofing contractor's registration certificate for any reason stated in subsection (b) of K.S.A. 2018 Supp. 50-6,125, and amendments thereto. The attorney general shall notify the applicant in writing if the attorney general denies the renewal as provided in subsection (c) of K.S.A. 2018 Supp. 50-6,125, and amendments thereto.

(c) If any roofing contractor fails to file a renewal application by the June 30 deadline, that contractor's registration certificate shall be deemed not to be in good standing. A roofing contractor has a 30-day grace period after June 30 to renew such registration certificate without a late fee. The late fee shall be set by the attorney general but shall not exceed $300. If the certificate is not renewed before July 31, the certificate shall be revoked.

(d) (1) A roofing contractor desiring to renew a registration certificate that has been suspended for any cause provided in this act prior to the June 30 annual renewal date shall be assessed a fee equal to twice the amount of the fee established by subsection (c) of K.S.A. 2018 Supp. 50-6,128, and amendments thereto.

(2) The attorney general shall assess a reinstatement fee in an amount to be set by the attorney general not to exceed $500 plus the fee established by K.S.A. 2018 Supp. 50-6,128, and amendments thereto, for any registration certificate that has been revoked for any cause provided in this act.

(3) A roofing contractor submitting an application for a registration certificate after suspension or revocation of that contractor's registration certificate must be otherwise eligible for registration under this act.

(e) The attorney general shall include a registration status notation in a roofing contractor's record if the status of registration changes from active and valid to not in good standing, denied, suspended or revoked.
