GROUNDS FOR DENIAL OR REVOCATION OF CERTIFICATION OR LICENSE; REPORTS OF
BUILDING OFFICIALS AND OTHERS (§ 54.1-1134)

The Board shall have the power to require remedial education and to suspend,
revoke or deny renewal of the certification or license of any individual who is
found to be in violation of the statutes or regulations governing the practice
of licensed tradesmen, liquefied petroleum gas fitters or natural gas fitter
providers or certified backflow prevention device workers in the Commonwealth.

Any building official who finds that an individual is practicing as a tradesman,
elevator mechanic, liquefied petroleum gas fitter or natural gas fitter provider
without a license as required by this article shall file a report to such effect
with the Board. Any water purveyor or building official who finds that an
individual is practicing as a backflow prevention device worker without a
certificate, if a certificate is required by the locality in which an individual
is engaging in backflow prevention device worker activities, shall file a report
to such effect with the Board.

Any building official who has reason to believe that (i) a tradesman, liquefied
petroleum gas fitter or natural gas fitter provider is performing incompetently
as demonstrated by an egregious or repeated violation of the Uniform Statewide
Building Code (§ 36-97 et seq.) or (ii) a certified backflow prevention device
worker is performing incompetently as demonstrated by an egregious or repeated
violation of the standards adopted by the American Society of Sanitary
Engineering referenced in the plumbing code adopted by the Virginia Uniform
Statewide Building Code shall file a report to such effect with the Board. Any
water purveyor who has reason to believe that a certified backflow prevention
device worker is performing incompetently as demonstrated by an egregious or
repeated violation of the standards adopted by the American Society of Sanitary
Engineering referenced in the plumbing code adopted by the Virginia Uniform
Statewide Building Code shall file a report to such effect with the Board and
local building official.
