Volume 11, Issue 1 April 2015
It has been an extremely busy and productive Spring. The NASCLA 2015 Mid Year
Meeting in Huntsville was a valuable working meeting and also a good time. If you
did not attend, you definitely missed a treat and great meeting. It was nice to have
Dale Atkinson, Executive Director of Federation of Associations of Regulatory Boards
(FARB) back with us for this meeting; it’s always great to have Dale discuss Board
Member and Officer roles and responsibilities. It was also perfect timing to discuss the
monumental SCOTUS decision from the North Carolina Board of Dental Examiners
vs. the Federal Trade Commission. I know we are all dealing with the implications of
this decision and there will be more to discuss in the future.
I was privileged to attend our first Subject Matter Expert Job/Occupational Analysis workshop for the new
NASCLA Electrical Examinations held in Salt Lake City, Utah in March. This particular meeting was for the
Master Electricians/Electrical Contractor Examination and there is another one scheduled in June in Dallas,
Texas for the Journeyman Electrician Examination. This was a constructive meeting and attended by some
great representatives in the Electrical Industry. Doug Traylor, NASCLA Accredited Examination Program
Committee Chair, and Kara Schmitt, NASCLA Psychometrician, are doing an excellent job with this project
and I truly do look forward to launching these three new examinations. I am very pleased with the expansion
of our member services, which will ensure NASCLA’s viability and future in representing the construction
industry.
We continue to plan and work on our NASCLA 2015 Annual Conference to be held in San Diego, California
this year. I hope you all can attend this year’s conference and look forward to a fantastic meeting. It’s a
wonderful location surrounded by lots of fun activities for you and your guests.
As always, I would like to thank our wonderful staff and hardworking committee members that help make
everything possible. As discovered at the NASCLA 2015 Mid Year Meeting, we have almost completely
finalized our current NASCLA Strategic Plan that was supposed to carry us through 2016. So thank you for
all of your hard work and dedication to this organization. Together, we will continue to grow NASCLA for
the betterment of the safety, health, and welfare of the citizens we protect and for the construction industry
that we support. Please let me know if I can be of any assistance to you at any time and I look forward to
seeing you in San Diego!!
Sincerely,
Keith Warren
NASCLA President

Florida Construction
Industry Licensing
Board
The Florida Construction Industry Licensing Board (CILB) was originally created by
the Florida Legislature in 1963 for the regulation of Florida contractors. At its inception,
the CILB regulated only general, building and residential contracting. Today, the CILB
licenses contractors in more than 18 categories, including air-conditioning, pool,
roofing, plumbing, mechanical and underground utility. The Board’s mission is to
license efficiently and regulate fairly for the protection of Florida’s citizens.
The Florida Construction Industry Licensing Board is divided into 2 divisions and
comprised of 18 members. Membership on the board includes: 4 general contractors,
3 building or residential contractors (at least 1 must be a building contractor and 1
must be a residential contractor), 1 roofing contractor, 1 sheet metal contractor, 1
air-conditioning contractor, 1 mechanical contractor, 1 pool contractor, 1 plumbing
contractor, and 1 underground utility and excavation contractor, 2 building officials, and
2 consumer members. Each member is appointed by the Governor, confirmed by the
Florida Senate and may serve for 2, 4-year terms.
The Board meets 3 days each month (except December) and is responsible for reviewing
licensure applications, disciplining licensed contractors, developing administrative
rules and issuing binding legal opinions to individuals substantially affected by the
Board’s professional practice act. The CILB is also responsible for administration and
management of the Florida Homeowners’ Construction Recovery Fund. The Recovery
Fund was created in 1993 in the wake of Hurricane Andrew as a fund of last resort to
compensate consumers who contracted for construction, repair or improvement of their
Florida residence and who suffered monetary damages due to the financial misconduct,
abandonment or fraudulent statement of a licensed contractor.
The CILB is housed within Florida’s Department of Business and Professional
Regulation(DBPR), which employs the Board’s administrative staff and is tasked with providing the Board’s day to day
services, including application processing, license issuance, investigative services and call center services. DBPR, through
its “Apply Now!” and “Customer Success” initiatives, has focused its efforts into streamlining its licensing process to
remove unnecessary barriers to Florida contractors and businesses while maintaining reasonable enforcement efforts to
protect the health, safety and welfare of Florida citizens.
DBPR also provides direct enforcement of contractor licensing laws through its Division of Regulation’s Unlicensed
Activity Enforcement program. During FY 2013/2014, the Department conducted 34 undercover sting operations with
local law enforcement and 489 licensing sweeps in areas throughout Florida. In addition, the Department conducted over
600 public outreaches to educate Florida’s consumers on the dangers of using unlicensed contractors.
As of July 1, 2014, the Construction Industry Licensing Board and the Department of Business and Professional
Regulation provide licensing to more than 85,000 contractors. The CILB and DBPR remain dedicated to ensuring the
integrity of Florida’s contracting industry to benefit Florida’s contractors as and uphold the safety of Florida’s citizens.

CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT/PROGRAM
MANAGEMENT LICENSURE
Prior to March 20, 2015, the Louisiana State Licensing Board for Contractors (LSLBC) offered a number of
different classifications of construction management licensure that have been determined to be unnecessary and
confusing. Effective March 20, 2015, the Board adopted a new Construction Management/Program Management
rule to allow a licensed general contractor with a major classification to bid or perform any project specified
for services within their classification of licensure. In recent years the trends of project design and engineering
specified for Construction Management/Program Management created unnecessary and costly steps for licensed
general contractors to add those terms to their license in order to bid and compete for that work. This rule can be
found in its entirety in the Louisiana Administrative Code, Title 46, Part XXIX, and reads:
“Any person, company or entity who undertakes, attempts to, or submits a price or bid or offer to perform work
in construction management or program management whose scope of authority and responsibility includes
supervision, oversight, direction, or in any manner assuming charge of the construction services provided to an
owner by a contractor or contractors in excess of $50,000 must possess a license from this board in the major
classification of building construction or heavy construction or highway, street, and bridge construction or
municipal and public works construction. Any licensed contractor with any of these major classifications shall
be able to bid and perform any such project specified for construction and/or program management within the
scope of the classification(s) they hold. If a program manager whose scope of authority and responsibilities does
not include any of the above stated tasks, and who does not subcontract actual construction work, that program
manager does not need a contractor’s license.”
If you have any questions or need additional information, please feel free to contact Michael McDuff, Executive
Director of the Louisiana State Licensing Board for Contractors via email at mmcduff@lslbc.louisiana.gov or 225-
763-3983.

NASCLA STATE MEMBER RESOURCES!
Have you ever wanted to develop a program for your
Board, but weren’t quite sure where to start or what
resources were available to make your program a
success? The NASCLA Resources Committee is here to
help!
The NASCLA Toolkit for Contractor Regulators was
developed to provide resources to NASCLA State
Members in an effort to address the operational issues
facing regulatory boards. The Toolkit provides state
agencies with a variety of best practices, outreach and
engagement strategies, and sample templates from
other states, which can be used to customize your state
agency’s very own programs, policies and processes.
The Toolkit is meant to be an evolving portal of
information. On March 13, 2015, NASCLA officially
launched the updated and revamped NASCLA
Toolkit for Contractor Regulators to include four (4)
new programs. Your are encouraged to upload any
supporting information, document templates, policies/
procedures, or outreach materials relative to the
programs listed so that all states have the opportunity
to learn from one another and build upon each other’s
efforts. For a complete list of the NASCLA Toolkit for
Contractor Regulators topics, please see below:

NASCLA Toolkit for Contractor Regulators
Has Been Updated and Revamped!
“The Colorado flood of 2013 adversely impacted a huge portion of the state with the
100 year flooding. With the help from NASCLA staff, and the resources provided by the
NASCLA Toolkit for Contractor Regulators, the Colorado State Electrical and Plumbing
Boards were able to gather numerous materials that were used for statewide outreach to
inform consumers of unlicensed practice, lessons learned and videos of how to rebuild a
damaged. NASCLA was a tremendous help for ensuring the safe rebuilding of Colorado
affected areas.”
