Heating, Ventilation, Air–Conditioning, and Refrigeration Contractors – License Restoration

HB 92 extends the timeframe for heating, ventilation, air-conditioning, and refrigeration (HVACR) contractors in Maryland to restore expired licenses. Currently, contractors must apply within 90 days of expiration to pay a fee for restoration; this bill changes that window to four years. After four years, contractors would still need to meet initial licensing requirements if they miss the deadline. The bill amends Maryland’s Business Regulation Code to update these provisions, directly affecting HVACR contractors whose licenses have expired.
