What happens if a contractor fails to maintain general liability insurance while holding an active license?

The license remains valid
The license is canceled
The license can be temporarily suspended
The contractor is fined

The correct answer is: The license is canceled

If a contractor fails to maintain general liability insurance while holding an active license, the direct consequence is that the license is canceled. General liability insurance is a fundamental requirement for contractors as it provides financial protection against claims arising from accidents that occur in the course of their work. Maintaining this insurance is crucial for ensuring compliance with regulatory standards set by the licensing board, which is designed to protect both the public and the contractor. The cancellation of the license serves as a significant enforcement mechanism to uphold these safety and financial responsibility standards. Without valid insurance, the contractor is considered unable to operate legally, thereby jeopardizing the interests of clients and the profession as a whole. In contrast, keeping the license valid without the necessary insurance would undermine the legal framework intended to ensure safe practices within the industry. The other options do not accurately reflect the severity of the consequences associated with failing to maintain this crucial insurance.
