<p class="MsoNormal">The concern with the North Carolina Dental case and antitrust issues come from the fact that these boards are made up of people who are working in the industry and regulating it at the same time.   Rule Change and Declaratory Statements
 were the two instances that could affect the industry in that regard.  I remember the serious shock wave that went over all Florida professional boards during that time.  Dylan Rivers, a member of the Architects board, wrote a Bar Journal article on the case
 if you are interested in that.  It was rather tumultuous time for professional boards.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The federal government was investigating all state boards for possible issues.  That is partly why you have seen a trend of loosening the collar on the construction regulation in Florida.  i.e. acceptance of the NASCLA test, state reciprocity,
 and the Occupational Freedom and Opportunity Act of 2020.<o:p></o:p></p>

<li class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:.75in;mso-list:l5 level1 lfo7">Starting with the definitions found at  Fla. Stat. s. 489.105, work on asphalt and curbs does not appear to expressly fall within any of the listed licensure descriptions applicable
 to Division II contractors under s. 489.105(3)(d)-(o).  Assuming the reference to “drains” refers to stormwater drains, the work on drains appears to fall within the “storm sewer collection system” scope of work applicable to an underground utility and excavation
 contractor at Fla. Stat. s. 489.105(3)(n).<o:p></o:p></li></ol>

<ol style="margin-top:0in" start="2" type="a">
<li class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:.75in;mso-list:l5 level1 lfo7">After working through the statutory definitions, the next relevant portion of ch. 489 appears to be Fla. Stat. s. 489.113.  Under Fla. Stat. s. 489.113(2), an unlicensed subcontractor
 may work under the supervision of a licensed contractor under the following conditions: (i) the work is within the scope of the supervising contractor’s license, (ii) the supervising contractor is responsible for the work, and (iii) the unlicensed subcontractor
 being supervised is not performing work for which a contractor must be licensed as a Division II contractor under s. 489.105(3)(d)-(o).<o:p></o:p></li></ol>

<ol style="margin-top:0in" start="3" type="a">
<li class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:.75in;mso-list:l5 level1 lfo7">Under Fla. Stat. s. 489.113(3)(d), a CGC may perform any of the services for which a license as an underground utility and excavation contractor is required.  Accordingly, romanette
 (i) above is satisfied.  Satisfying romanette (ii) above should not be a heavy lift assuming the CGC is on the site permit and is contracted to the Owner.  The analysis of romanette (iii) above is tricky.  On the one hand, stormwater collection system work
 such as storm drains appears to fall within the licensure scope of an underground utility contractor pursuant to 489.105(3)(n).  On the other hand, stormwater collection system work may expressly be performed by a CGC and is not restricted to the Division
 II underground utility license.  It comes down to whether work on drains and stormwater collection systems is work “that would require a license as a contractor under any of the categories listed in s. 489.105(3)(d)-(o)”.   Since a CGC may lawfully perform
 such work, I would argue that drain work does not require a license under s. 489.105(3)(n) and accordingly romanette (iii) above is satisfied.  This interpretation is bolstered by the text of s. 489.113(3) which lists various Division II scopes of work that
 a CGC must subcontract to a properly licensed Division II subcontractor.  Missing from the list is the s. 489.105(3)(n) underground utility and excavation contractor scope.<o:p></o:p></li></ol>

<li class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:.75in;mso-list:l5 level1 lfo7">In sum, I believe there is a credible argument that an unlicensed sub working under a CGC may perform the asphalt, curb and drain scopes under the supervision of the CGC without
 violating ch. 489.<o:p></o:p></li></ol>

 it does not need its own license to perform that work?  If so, or if not, can someone point me to the statute, rule or regulation that requires that sub to have its own license?  Thank you.
