NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN THAT Construction Industry Licensing Board has received the petition for declaratory statement from James MartinThe petition seeks the agency's opinion as to the applicability of 489.128 F.S. as it applies to the petitioner.
The Construction Industry Licensing Board hereby gives notice that on September 4, 2007, it received a Petition for Declaratory Statement filed by James Martin, who is in the business of providing and installing cabinets. The petition seeks the Board’s interpretation of Section 489.128, F.S., as it applies to the installation of kitchen and bathroom cabinets in residential buildings. Specifically, the Petitioner requests that the Board issue a declaratory statement as to (1) whether the State of Florida requires that the installation of kitchen and bathroom cabinets in residential buildings must be performed only by licensed contractors and (2) whether a State certified contractor who installs such cabinets in a Florida city or county would be considered an unlicensed contractor under Section 489.128, F.S. if such a contractor does not obtain a local Certificate of Competency or register their state license with the local authorities.
A copy of the Petition for Declaratory Statement may be obtained by contacting: G. W. Harrell, Executive Director, Construction Industry Licensing Board, 1940 North Monroe Street, Tallahassee, FL 32399-0750.
