32-1125.01. Inactive license
A. A contractor may request the registrar, on forms prescribed by the registrar, to inactivate his the contractor's current license for a period not to exceed five fifteen years at one time by giving written notice to the registrar. The registrar may, in the absence of any disciplinary proceeding or disciplinary suspension and upon on payment of reasonable fees determined by the registrar, may issue to the contractor an inactive license certificate.

If the license is not reactivated within five fifteen years, a new application for licensing must be made unless the contractor requests, on forms prescribed by the registrar, to inactivate the license for an additional period not to exceed five fifteen years. No A contractor may not inactivate the license more than twice.
C. The holder of an inactive license shall not practice as a contractor until his the license is reactivated as an active license.
