Board for Licensing Contractors adopts agenda, elects officers and approves routine licensing actions
Summary
At its March 25, 2025 meeting in Nashville, the Board for Licensing Contractors adopted its agenda, elected new officers, approved minutes and carried multiple licensing motions including hardship approvals, initial application approvals, and several disciplinary or corrective actions.
The Board for Licensing Contractors convened March 25 in Nashville and carried a series of procedural and licensing motions, including adopting the meeting agenda, electing officers and approving multiple contractor license applications and enforcement recommendations.
The board adopted the agenda as amended, then approved Robert’s Rules of Order and completed an annual conflict-of-interest collection. Jennifer Ransom was elected chair; Bill DeMant was elected vice chair; and Lee Lee Carter was elected secretary/treasurer.
The board approved the Jan. 28, 2015 meeting minutes and moved through licensing business: the board granted hardship approvals, approved groups of initial contractor applications (with waived interviews), and approved applications with factors after individual interviews and staff recommendations. The board also approved a Fresh Start Act preapproval that had been recommended by staff, and disapproved one RCE provider course because the coursework was HVAC-focused and not relevant to residential contracting.
Legal staff presented two changes on the legal report: for case number 2024054081, staff reported a new recommendation of a 180-day license suspension and a $1,000 civil penalty by consent order; and for case number 2024019741, staff clarified an expiration date should read May 31, 2026. The board voted to approve the legal report as amended.
Several procedural motions closed the meeting, including directing staff to handle an interviewed applicant that had been addressed before the formal meeting and adjourning the session. The board announced the next meeting will be May 20 in Jackson.
