If a qualifying person leaves a company, how long can the temporary license remain valid?

When a qualifying person leaves a company, the Minnesota contractor licensing rules allow for a temporary license to remain valid for 120 days from the date the qualifying person departs. This provision provides adequate time for the company to appoint a new qualifying person or make necessary arrangements to maintain compliance with state licensing regulations. It is crucial for contractors to be aware of this timeframe to ensure they remain in good standing and can continue their operations seamlessly during any transitions. This flexibility is designed to accommodate the realities of staffing changes while protecting the interests of consumers and the integrity of the contracting profession in Minnesota.
