§ 8624 License Suspension Scope

If the board suspends or revokes an operator’s license and one or more branch offices are registered under the name of the operator, the suspension or revocation may be applied to each branch office. If the operator is the qualifying manager, a partner, responsible officer, or owner of a registered structural pest control company, the suspension or revocation may be applied to the company registration. The performance by any partnership, corporation, firm, association, or registered company of any act or omission constituting a cause for disciplinary action, likewise constitutes a cause for disciplinary action against any licensee who, at the time the act or omission occurred, was the qualifying manager, a partner, responsible officer, or owner of the partnership, corporation, firm, association, or registered company whether or not he or she had knowledge of, or participated in, the prohibited act or omission. (Amended by Stats. 1987, Ch. 56, Sec. 6.)
