Has Report: No Subject: Requiring local governments to recognize and grant reciprocity to locally issued contractor licenses. Summary/Major Elements: This act requires each county, city, town and other government entity that issues licenses to contractors to recognize a license issued to a contractor by another county, city, town or other government entity in Wyoming. In order to receive reciprocity from another local government entity, the contractor's previously issued license must be valid, and the contractor must be in good standing with the entity that granted the license. The contractor must also provide any proof of financial assurance that the entity granting reciprocity requires. The act also requires a contractor seeking reciprocity to provide proof of the successful completion of any examination appropriate for the license. After providing that proof, no further testing is required. The act specifies that a local government may require a contractor to provide proof for the government to confirm that the contractor's initial license is active and in good standing. A local government may deny reciprocal recognition if a contractor has previously had a license revoked or suspended. The act contemplates that local governments can enter into agreements for the recognition of contractor licenses obtained in other jurisdictions in Wyoming.
