(a) A “registered company” is any sole proprietorship, partnership, corporation, or other organization or any combination thereof that is registered with the Structural Pest Control Board to engage in the practice of structural pest control.
(b) A registered company may secure structural pest control work, submit bids, or otherwise contract for pest control work. A registered company may employ licensed field representatives and licensed operators to identify infestations or infections, make inspections, and represent the company in the securing of pest control work. A registered company may hire or employ individuals who are not licensed under this chapter to perform work on contracts covering Branch 1, 2, or 3, or any combination of branches, only after an operator or field representative has fully completed the negotiation or signing of the contract covering a given job.
(c) This section shall not be construed to authorize an unlicensed individual to perform work that requires a license pursuant to this chapter.
Notes
Defines a “registered company” as an organization registered with the board to practice pest control and allows it to contract for work and employ licensed representatives or operators. Allows unlicensed workers on Branch 1, 2, or 3 contracts only after a licensed operator or field representative completes contract negotiation or signing, but bars unlicensed performance of work requiring a license.
