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

This bill extends the time HVAC and refrigeration contractors in Maryland have to restore an expired license from 90 days to 4 years. It modifies Maryland law to allow license holders to apply for restoration within 4 years of expiration by paying the required renewal or reinstatement fee. Contractors who miss this 4-year window would no longer face the full initial application process but must instead comply with new applicant requirements. The change directly affects licensed contractors who let their credentials expire, providing more flexibility to regain their license status.
