shall
take an examination, the | 15 |
| technical
portion of which shall cover residential roofing | 16 |
| practices. Each applicant for
an
unlimited license shall | 17 |

| business trust, or other legal entity submitted by a sole | 18 |
| proprietor who is currently licensed under this Act and exempt | 19 |
| from the examination requirement of this Section shall not be | 20 |
| considered an application for initial licensure for the | 21 |
| purposes of this subsection (d) if the sole proprietor is named | 22 |
| in the application as the qualifying party and is the sole | 23 |
| owner of the legal entity. Upon issuance of a license to the | 24 |
| new legal entity, the sole proprietorship license is | 25 |

| if the entity's current qualifying party is exempt from the | 6 |
| examination requirement of this Section, that qualifying party | 7 |
| is named as the new legal entity's qualifying party, and the | 8 |
| majority of ownership in the new legal entity remains the same | 9 |
