California Codes, Business and Professions Code - BPC, Division 3 — Professions and Vocations Generally, Chapter 7 — Professional Engineers, Article 7 — Revenue, Section 6796.5
Once an expired or delinquent certificate of registration or certificate of authority is renewed pursuant to Section 6796, all of the following shall apply:
(a) The board shall continue to have full jurisdiction and authority over the certificate holder as if the authority had not expired or become delinquent.
(b) The work performed by the certificate holder during a period of expiration or delinquency shall be deemed lawful and validly performed as to persons or entities other than the authority holder.
(c) The renewal of a registration or certificate of authority shall not affect liability issues regarding work performed during a period of expiration or delinquency, nor does the fact of performance during a period of expiration or delinquency affect liability issues.
Notes
Establishes that renewing an expired or delinquent registration or authority certificate restores the board’s full jurisdiction as if no lapse occurred. Treats work performed during the lapse as lawful and valid as to persons or entities other than the holder, while leaving liability issues unchanged by either renewal or performance during the lapse.
