One-year license bar for unlicensed bidders

The State Contractors' Board can deny a contractor license for up to 1 year to anyone who bids a Nevada job while unlicensed. This applies when the bid is $1,000 or more, including labor and materials. The 1-year period starts on the date of the bid.

Tougher penalties for interfering with Contractors Board

It is illegal to interfere with a State Contractors' Board investigation, hearing, or other legal action to which the Board is a party. Interference includes threatening, harassing, or trying to influence someone who gave or may give evidence. The Board can also discipline a licensed contractor for this conduct. Criminal penalties escalate: a first offense is a misdemeanor with a $1,000 to $4,000 fine and up to 6 months in jail; a second offense is a gross misdemeanor with a $4,000 to $10,000 fine and up to 364 days in jail; a third or later offense is a category E felony with a $10,000 to $20,000 fine and 1 to 4 years in prison. Lawful preparation or defense of your case is still allowed.
