Tenn. Comp. R. & Regs. 0765-01-.09 - TEMPORARY LICENSES
(1) Pursuant to
T.C.A. § 62-37-108(f), the Executive Director may grant an application for
a home improvement license a temporary license pending a final decision of the
Commission on the Application for a permanent license if:
(a) Applicant has properly filed for a
permanent license and has paid the requisite license fee;
(b) Applicant has filed a bond or evidence of
financial responsibility in accordance with T.C.A. §
62-37-108(j).
(c)
Applicant submits a written request for a temporary license to the Executive
Director; and
(d) Executive
Director determines that granting the applicant a temporary license is in the
public interest and that granting the applicant a temporary license does not
pose a substantial risk of harm to owners for whom the applicant would do home
improvement work.
(2) As
soon as reasonably possible after receiving a written request for a temporary
license, but not more than forty-five (45) days after receiving the request,
the Executive Director shall inform the applicant in writing whether the
Executive Director has denied or granted the applicant a temporary license. If
the Executive Director grants an applicant a temporary license, the writing to
the applicant shall state that the temporary license terminates automatically
when the Commission decides to issue or deny the applicant a permanent license
and that the Executive Director can terminate the temporary license at any time
before final action on the application for a permanent license. Notwithstanding
the above, a temporary license shall automatically expire after sixty (60) days
from the effective date, and may not be renewed. If an additional application
for a temporary license is filed within thirty (30) days after expiration of a
previously issued temporary license, then the fee shall be twenty-five dollars
($25.00).
(3) When the Executive
Director issues a temporary license to an applicant, the Executive Director
shall issue the applicant a license which is specially marked as temporary.
This temporary license may be in the form of a letter from the Executive
Director. The Executive Director shall state in this letter the effective date
of the temporary license.
(4) A
temporary license shall automatically expire if the Commission issues a Final
Order denying the applicant's request for a permanent license.
(5) The Executive Director or the Commission
may terminate a temporary license at any time for any reason which is not
arbitrary or capricious. When the Executive Director or the Commission
terminates a temporary license, it shall take effect upon receipt by the
applicant of the notice of termination, or 10 days after the mailing of the
notice of termination, or whichever comes first.
