Makes changes in provisions concerning definitions. Adds provisions concerning an applicant's or licensee's address of record and email address of record.

Senate Committee Amendment No. 1
Replaces everything after the enacting clause. Reinserts the contents of the introduced bill with the following changes. In provisions concerning the application for a roofing contractor license, provides that the qualifying party shall be an employee (rather than a full-time employee). In the provisions concerning the duties and responsibilities of a qualifying party and grounds for discipline, makes changes concerning those duties and responsibilities and makes a terminology change in the caption. Provides that in the event a qualifying party is terminated or has an active status (rather than his or her status) as the qualifying party of the licensed roofing contractor terminated, both the licensee and the qualifying party shall notify the Department of Financial and Professional Regulation of this disassociation. Provides that within 7 months after approval by the Department (rather than upon approval by the Department), a newly designated qualifying party must take and pass a required examination to requalify. Corrects typographical errors. Effective immediately.

Senate Floor Amendment No. 3
Corrects grammatical and typographical mistakes. In provisions concerning application of the Act, provides that nothing in the Act shall be construed to prevent or limit the practice of professional engineering as defined in the Professional Engineering Practice Act of 1989 or the practice of structural engineering as defined in the Structural Engineering Practice Act of 1989.

Makes changes to the definition of "roofing work" or "professional roofing services". In provisions concerning contracts for professional roofing services, provides that, in awarding a contract for professional roofing services, if the property owner is the State or any municipality, county, incorporated area, or school district, the property owner shall conduct a bona fide procurement process in accordance with applicable law in which the awarded vendor holds the applicable verified active licenses and a qualifying party credential issued by the Department of Financial and Professional Regulation (rather than a bona fide bidding process in which all of the bids are submitted by roofing contractors holding verified active licenses issued by the Department).
