§ 22-190. Emergency restricted certificates of competency.

In the event of a declaration of a state of emergency in Collier County by the Collier County Board of County Commissioners or in the City by the City Council, in which substantial damage has occurred to buildings and structures so as to cause a shortage of available persons and firms/entities in the contracting trades for which there are Collier County/City Certificates of Competency, the Contractors' Licensing Board is hereby authorized to:

(1)

Declare an emergency contracting trade shortage of designated categories of contractors and/or subcontractors listed in this article. This declaration shall be for a period of time not to exceed six months.

(2)

Authorize the contractor licensing supervisor to prepare and regulate the selection of contractors and/or sub-contractors from other jurisdictions whose licensing requirements are substantially comparable to those licensed in Collier County and issue temporary licenses to those contractors for a period of time not to exceed the declaration of emergency. The contractors selected must be licensed in jurisdictions whose testing and licensing requirements have been predetermined by the contractors' licensing board to be substantially comparable to the Collier County requirements.
