SECTION 6. AMENDATORY 59 O.S. 2021, Section 1151.7, is
amended to read as follows:

Section 1151.7. The holder of a roofing contractor registration
certificate is the registrant and is entitled to engage in the
roofing business within this state pursuant to the provisions of the
Roofing Contractor Registration Act, when the registrant is the
active qualifying party, and subject to the following limitations:

1. A roofing contractor's registration certificate number and
any required endorsement shall be valid and in good standing at the
time of soliciting a project and during subsequent job performance;

2. Each active roofing contractor issued a roofing contractor
registration shall display the his or her roofing firm name,
endorsement information, if required, and the roofing contractor
registration number bearing the initials "OK" preceding that
registration number issued by the registrar on all vehicles used to
transport materials and tools in the operation of the business.
Such names, endorsements and numbers shall be printed in letters and
numerals at least two (2) inches in height in a conspicuous location
on both sides of each vehicle in contrasting color to the background
color;

3. Each registered roofing contractor shall be properly
endorsed as required by the Roofing Contractor Registration Act and,
ENR. H. B. NO. 3800 Page 23
when issued a commercial or residential roofer endorsement shall
display the roofing firm name and the information that the roofing
contractor has a commercial or residential roofer endorsement issued
by the registrar on all vehicles used to transport materials and
tools in the operation of the business. Such endorsement
information shall be in print size that is at least two (2) inches
in height in a conspicuous location on both sides of each vehicle in
contrasting color to the background color;

4. Each actively endorsed registrant who has contracted
directly with a prime contractor or owner shall post in a
conspicuous place on the job site the name, existence of any
endorsement, registration number, and telephone number for the
registration and endorsement under which any work is being
performed, and on all media containing the registrant's name,
including but not limited to magnetic signs on vehicles, business
cards, contracts, bids, letterhead, signs, and advertisements. The
prime contractor or registered and endorsed roofing contractor, if
no prime contractor, remains responsible under the Roofing
Contractor Registration Act for required registration and
endorsement compliance when subcontracting the roofing work as is
every subcontractor when subcontracting that roofing work.
Subcontracting to an unregistered roofing contractor is a violation
of the Roofing Contractor Registration Act. Subcontracting to an
unendorsed or improperly endorsed roofing contractor when an active
endorsement is required is a violation of the Roofing Contractor
Registration Act. It is the responsibility of the prime contractor,
all contractors, and all subcontractors to comply with this act and
to provide proof on the jobsite to the registrar of current
registration and active endorsement of the qualifying party
providing the required direct supervision. Failure to provide proof
to the registrar on the jobsite of the active current and properly
endorsed qualifying party directly supervising the job is a
violation of this act for which enforcement action may be taken on
each person performing roofing work on the jobsite and each
subcontractor up to and including the contractor contracting
directly with the owner;

5. A roofing contractor's registration certificate number and
endorsement information shall be submitted when applying for any
permit issued by the state, or any of its political subdivisions,
for commercial or residential roofing services or projects, if a
permit is required by such authority, and shall be written upon each
permit issued. Provided, however, no permitting authority shall
require a roofing contractor registration certificate as a condition
ENR. H. B. NO. 3800 Page 24
to issuing a permit when registration is exempt pursuant to Section
1151.9 of this title;

6. A roofing contractor's registration certificate cannot be
shared or used by any other individual or business entity; provided,
however, a business firm, partnership, association, corporation,
limited liability company, or other group or combination thereof
acting as a unit may be granted a single roofing registration
certificate number for use by designated roofing contractors acting
as agents for the business entity when the application for
registration contained sufficient information on each member,
partner, officer and agent and the registrar issued a single
certificate number to such persons as a business unit;

7. Upon any change to the name, address, business entity,
qualifying party, change in firm ownership of fifty percent (50%) or
more of the stock or beneficial interest in the company, or legal
service agent of a roofing contractor or upon adjudication by a
court of competent jurisdiction for a violation of the Roofing
Contractor Registration Act or an act or omission specified in
subsection A of Section 1151.14 of this title, the registrar shall
be notified in writing within ten (10) days. Any proposed or final
order or notice of hearing to the attorney of record or the last-
known address of record shall be considered delivered when sent
registered, certified or post office receipt-secured and deposited
in the United States mail and/or sent registered or certified or
post office receipt secured. Any other communication to the
attorney of record or the last-known address of record of a
registrant shall be considered delivered when deposited in the
United States mail, regular mail;

8. A roofing contractor shall comply with state laws and local
ordinances relating to standards and permits for roofing services
and projects;

9. A roofing contractor must pay taxes due in this state;

10. Each registrant shall notify the registrar within ten (10)
days after he or she receives notice that any felony conviction has
been rendered against him or her or the registrant or qualifying
party has pled a plea of guilty or nolo contendere, or a finding of
guilt to a felony. The notification shall be in writing, by
certified mail, and shall include a copy of the conviction, plea,
finding of guilt, or judgment and sentence;

ENR. H. B. NO. 3800 Page 25
11. Each registrant shall notify the registrar immediately upon
receipt of an order imposing disciplinary action upon its
registration issued by any other professional regulatory board, in
this or any other jurisdiction. Disciplinary action taken against
any other professional registration or license held by the
registrant in this jurisdiction or any other jurisdiction is grounds
for disciplinary action against the registration issued pursuant to
the Roofing Contractor Registration Act; and

12. Each registrant shall utilize a valid written contract when
engaging in the business of roofing contractor work except when an
actively endorsed roofing contractor subcontracts with a labor-only
crew that is being directly supervised by the qualifying party and
is in compliance with this act including posting of the qualifying
party's information at the jobsite. The contract shall contain the
requirements described in Section 1151.21 of this title. Committing
fraud when executing or materially altering a roofing contract,
mortgage, promissory note or other document incidental to performing
roofing contractor work, is a violation of the Roofing Contractor
Registration Act;

13. All persons shall comply with the provisions of the Roofing
Contractor Registration Act and violations are to be enforced as
provided in the Roofing Contractor Registration Act;

14. Registered and endorsed roofing contractors shall not
subcontract with unregistered or unendorsed, if endorsement is
required, roofing contractors or any contractors who are not in good
standing, and only utilize labor-only crews who are currently
registered in good standing; and

15. Labor-only crews shall provide proof of their registration
in good standing and the registration number with proper endorsement
for the roofing contractor qualifying party with whom they are
directly working and who is providing direct supervision when
requested.

SECTION 7. AMENDATORY 59 O.S. 2021, Section 1151.8, is
amended to read as follows:

Section 1151.8. A. At the time of making application for a
roofing contractor registration certificate pursuant to the Roofing
Contractor Registration Act, the applicant shall pay to the
registrar a fee of Seventy-five Dollars ($75.00) for the annual

B. All monies collected by the registrar for roofing contractor
registration applications, renewals and other fee assessments shall
be deposited by the registrar and credited to the Roofing Contractor
Registration Revolving Fund and such funds shall be used by the
registrar to implement and administer the provisions of the Roofing
Contractor Registration Act.

C. The fee to be submitted with an application for a roofing
contractor registration may be prorated as set by the provisions of
the Roofing Contractor Registration Act or rules. Unless prorated
at the time of initial registration, fees for initial registration

and such registration certificates shall expire each year on the
last day of the birth month of the qualifying party. Renewals will
be prorated as provided in Section 1151.3 of this title.

D. A renewal fee for a roofing contractor registration shall be
Seventy-five Dollars ($75.00) for the annual renewal registration

SECTION 8. AMENDATORY 59 O.S. 2021, Section 1151.9, is
amended to read as follows:

purposes of such persons submitting or entering into any bid or
contract involving roofing contractor work.

including unlawful activity of the practice of contracting for

within five (5) days of the receipt of the written complaint. The

Examiners member is authorized to assist in any investigation of a
roofing complaint referred to the district attorney, if requested by
the district attorney.

E. Following referral of a complaint to the district attorney,
if the roofing contractor is adjudicated by the court for an act or
omission specified in subsection A of Section 1151.14 of this title,
or upon a conviction for any violation of the provisions of the

the court, shall suspend, revoke or deny the roofing contractor's
registration and any endorsement for the period of time specified by
the court, and if the court orders the registration suspended,
ENR. H. B. NO. 3800 Page 36
revoked or denied, and yet fails to set the term of such suspension,
revocation or denial, the period shall be six (6) months.

F. The registrar shall not renew, reinstate, or issue a new
roofing contractor registration or endorsement to any person subject
to any term of denial, suspension or revocation until such term has
been completed, and thereafter, the person makes application and
pays required fees pursuant to Sections 1151.8 and 1151.12 of this
title.

G. It shall be unlawful for a person to obtain or attempt to
obtain a roofing contractor registration certificate under any other

guilty of a misdemeanor as provided in Section 1151.3 of this title.

liability company, or other group or combination thereof acting as a
unit whose registration certificate is not in good standing,

SECTION 14. AMENDATORY 59 O.S. 2021, Section 1151.17, is
amended to read as follows:

Section 1151.17. A. When applying for any permit required by
the state or any of its political subdivisions for roofing services
or jobs, a roofing contractor shall supply the permit-issuing
official that roofing contractor's registration certificate number
issued pursuant to the Roofing Contractor Registration Act and
endorsement information. That official shall enter a roofing
contractor's registration number and endorsement information on the
permit. The registrar may investigate any roofing project for
purposes of verifying roofing contractor registration, endorsement,
or permit verification.

B. A person performing as a roofing contractor on his or her
own property, although exempt from the registration requirements of
the Roofing Contractor Registration Act, shall, when applying for a
permit required for the project, supply the permit-issuing official
any roofing contractor registration number and endorsement
information, as soon as available, of each roofing subcontractor
engaged in roofing services and doing work covered by the permit, if
ENR. H. B. NO. 3800 Page 37
any. That official shall enter each roofing contractor registration
number and endorsement information so supplied before inspection of
the job.

C. A roofing contractor shall display his or her roofing
contractor registration number issued and endorsement information
pursuant to the Roofing Contractor Registration Act on every
business sign, card, correspondence, and contract used to solicit
and conduct roofing services in this state and shall display the
roofing firm name, existence of any commercial or residential roofer
endorsement, and the roofing contractor registration number bearing
the initials "OK" preceding that registration number issued by the
registrar on all vehicles used to transport materials in the
operation of the business. Such names, endorsements, and numbers
shall be printed in letters and numerals at least two (2) inches in
height in a conspicuous location on both sides of each vehicle in
contrasting color to the background color.

D. Each actively endorsed registrant who has contracted
directly with a prime contractor or owner shall post in a
conspicuous place on each job site the name, existence of any
commercial or residential roofer endorsement, registration number,
and telephone number for the registration under which any work is
being performed, and on all media containing the registrant's name,
including but not limited to magnetic signs on vehicles, business
cards, contracts, bids, letterhead, signs, and advertisements. The
prime contractor or registered and endorsed roofing contractor, if
no prime contractor, remains responsible under the Roofing
Contractor Registration Act for required registration and
endorsement compliance when subcontracting the roofing work as is
every subcontractor when subcontracting roofing work.
Subcontracting to an unregistered roofing contractor is a violation
of this act. Subcontracting to an unendorsed or improperly endorsed
roofing contractor when an active endorsement is required is a
violation of this act. It is the responsibility of the prime
contractor, all contractors, and all subcontractors to comply with
this act and to provide proof on the jobsite to the registrar of the
current registration and active endorsement of the qualifying party
providing the required direct supervision. Failure to provide proof
to the registrar on the jobsite of the active current and properly
endorsed qualifying party directly supervising the job is a
violation of the Roofing Contractor Registration Act, for which
enforcement action may be taken on each person performing roofing
work on the jobsite and each subcontractor up to and including the
contractor contracting directly with the owner.

technology a verification system or direct access system for
confirming roofing contractor registration certificates and, status
of registration, and endorsement information maintained by the

by the registrar, the state, the Construction Industries Board, or
any of their respective agents, officers, employees or assigns.

registered under the Roofing Contractor Registration Act. However,
any day laborer under the required direct supervision of a
qualifying party who can show proof of being covered by workers'
compensation insurance under the temporary labor agency for whom he
or she is hired-out may provide an affidavit from the temporary
labor agency to meet the requirement of this section for authority
to use an affidavit of exemption. No roofing contractor required to

independent contractor that is not registered under the Roofing
Contractor Registration Act with the required workers' compensation
ENR. H. B. NO. 3800 Page 39
insurance or who is not deemed his or her employee for purposes of
workers' compensation insurance.

compensation administrative system for injury or death to any person
who performs work under a contract with a person required by law to
be registered under the Roofing Contractor Registration Act and have
workers' compensation insurance on all persons performing work on
the roofing project.
