Any takers?</p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">I have not recently researched caselaw on the issue but my interpretation of Fla. Stat. s.489.128(1)(a) is that if a state license is not required for the scope of work at issue, then a contractor/subcontractor
cannot be found to be unlicensed under Fla. Stat. s 489.128 (and therefore suffer loss of legal and equitable rights relating to the contract). On flip side, the fact that a contractor may have a local issued license (but not a state issued license) will
not help that contractor avoid 489.128 issues if the scope of work at issue requires a state issued license under Ch. 489.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
