A. The registrar may adopt rules necessary to classify contractors in a manner consistent with established usage and procedure as found in the construction business, and may limit the field and scope of operations of a licensed contractor within any of the branches of the contracting business, as described in this chapter, in which the contractor is classified and qualified to engage.

B. The registrar shall establish by rule license classifications for dual licensed contractors. A contractor classified as a dual licensed contractor may perform equivalent construction work on both commercial and residential projects under a single license. The registrar shall adopt rules necessary to establish the scope of work that may be done under the dual license classifications.

C. A licensee may apply for classification and be classified in more than one classification after the licensee meets the qualifications prescribed by the registrar for such additional classification or classifications.

D. This chapter does not prohibit a specialty contractor from taking and executing a contract involving the use of two or more crafts or trades if the performance of the work in the crafts or trades other than those in which the specialty contractor is licensed is incidental and supplemental to the performance of work in the craft for which the specialty contractor is licensed.
