Sec. 20-420a. Procedures for registration. (a) No corporation shall perform or
offer to perform home improvements in this state unless such corporation has been
issued a certificate of registration by the commissioner. No such corporation shall be
relieved of responsibility for the conduct and acts of its agents, employees or officers
by reason of its compliance with the provisions of this section, nor shall any individual
contractor be relieved of responsibility for home improvements performed by reason
of his employment or relationship with such corporation.
(b) A qualifying corporation desiring a certificate of registration shall apply to the
commissioner, in writing, on a form provided by the commissioner. The application
shall state the name and address of such corporation, the city or town and the street and
number where such corporation is to maintain its principal place of business in this state,
the names and addresses of officers, a statement that one or more individuals who shall
direct, supervise or perform home improvements for such corporation are registered
home improvement contractors and such other information as the commissioner may
require.
(c) Any certificate issued by the commissioner pursuant to this section may be revoked or suspended by the commissioner after notice and hearing in accordance with
the provisions of chapter 54 concerning contested cases, if it is shown that the holder
of such certificate has not conformed to the requirements of this chapter, that the certificate was obtained through fraud or misrepresentation or that the contractor of record
employed by or acting on behalf of such corporation has had his certificate of registration
suspended or revoked by the commissioner. The commissioner may refuse to issue or
renew a certificate if any facts exist which would entitle the commissioner to suspend
or revoke an existing certificate.
(d) Each such corporation shall file with the commissioner upon application or
renewal thereof a designation of an individual or individuals registered to perform home
improvements in this state who shall direct or supervise the performance of home improvements by such corporation in this state. Such corporation shall notify the commissioner of any change in such designation within thirty days after such change becomes
effective.
(e) Each such corporation shall file with the commissioner upon application or renewal thereof a certificate of good standing issued by the office of the Secretary of the
State. Such corporation shall notify the commissioner of any change in corporate good
standing within thirty days after such change becomes effective.
