Construction Industry
Licensing Board Meeting
Calling all contractors! The Construction Industry Licensing Board (CILB) will
be meeting on Oct. 13 at Sandestin Golf & Beach Resort, 9300 Emerald Coast
Parkway, Sandestin, Florida. The Rules Committee will be meeting Friday, Oct. 13
at 8:30 a.m. to discuss the Trenchless Technology (Boring Contractor) Specialty
Contractor voluntary License issue. As you may recall, at the June CILB meeting
NUCA of Florida members testified before the Board and asked them to include
a provision that anyone holding the voluntary specialty contractor license
must work under the supervision of a licensed general contractor or licensed
underground utility contractor. Our success in overturning the direction of the
CILB at the June meeting was due to the fact that several NUCA of Florida
members-including President Jordan Lee & Past-President Tom Woodward--
attended and spoke up at the meeting.
WE NEED TO HAVE A HUGE TURNOUT AT THE OCT. 13 MEETING TO ENSURE
ACTION BY THE CILB PROTECTS PUBLIC HEALTH AND SAFETY AND DOES
NOT UNDERMINE UNDERGROUND UTILITY CONTRACTOR LICENSE-HOLDERS.
Please RSVP via phone at 850-566-7824 or email [email protected] if
you are planning to attend the meeting.
