What can happen to a contractor's license if they fail to comply with safety or labor laws?

When a contractor fails to comply with safety or labor laws, it is within the authority of the licensing board to impose disciplinary actions on their license. This disciplinary action can include suspension, revocation, or other penalties that directly impact the contractor's ability to operate legally within the state. The rationale behind this is to ensure that all contractors adhere to established standards that protect both workers and the public. Promoting compliance with safety and labor laws helps maintain industry integrity and public safety, thus making it imperative for licensing boards to take such violations seriously.

In this context, other options suggest minor consequences such as a warning, no effect, or simply requiring a safety course, which do not reflect the gravity of non-compliance with mandatory safety or labor regulations. The disciplinary measures are meant to reinforce the importance of such laws and encourage compliance among all licensed contractors.
