TheFlorida Department of Business and Professional Regulation (DBPR) recently listed as one of its Hot Topics information about a contractor’s duty to provide a statement about the Florida Homeowners’ Construction Recovery Fund within the construction contract. Other current hot topics include provisions allowing U.S. Military Veterans to use experience gained in the military toward the requirements for licensure. Up to three years of military experience may be applied toward the experience requirements for a certified contractor’s license. New forms were posted on July 1, 2016 for veterans to use when applying for licensure.
Contractors should take a few minutes at least monthly to peruse the DBPR’s website for topics of interest to the profession, along with pertinent information
each contractor must know.
