What should a contractor do if their license is suspended?

When a contractor's license is suspended, the most appropriate course of action is to stop all work until the issue is resolved. Continuing to work without a valid license can lead to further legal repercussions and complicate the situation. Operating under a suspended license is illegal and can result in fines, additional penalties, or even permanent loss of licensure.

Stopping all work ensures compliance with the law and protects both the contractor and their clients from any potential liabilities that may arise during a period of suspension. This pause allows the contractor to address the issues that led to the suspension and work on reinstating their license appropriately.

While appealing the suspension or requesting a temporary license might seem like viable options, they do not address the immediate need to operate legally. Thus, halting work is the safest and most responsible step a contractor can take when facing license suspension.
