1993 Tennessee Attorney General Reports and Opinions 1 (1993)

handle is hein.sag/sagtn0129 and id is 1 raw text is: OPINIONS OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL OF TENNESSEE Published by Authority of Chapter 276 Public Acts of 1971 February, 1993 93-12 CONTRACTORS:General Contractors: A general contractor may not legally contract with.an owner to do the work on a single project, the full value of which work substantially exceeds the monetary limitations on the contractor's license, by dividing up the work into a series of smaller contracts with that one contractor, each of which is within the monetary limitations of the contractor's license. Such a division of work for purposes of avoiding the application of the law would place both the contractor and the owner in violation of the Tennessee Contractors Licensing Act. Additionally, the contractor would be considered to be contracting without a license, subjecting him to civil penalty and the possibility of temporarily losing his license. An unlicensed contractor suing on his contract in a court of equity is also precluded from recovering anything but his actual documented expenses. When the owner directly contracts with more than one contractor, the pertinent monetary value for purposes of the contractor licensing statutes is the monetary value of each contractor's individual undertaking, not the value of the entire project. T.C.A. 57-62-101-104, §8-24-101, §62-2-101-111; Tenn. Atty. Gen. Op. 91-14 (February 4, 1991). 93-10 COURT:Juvenile: A conflict of interest exists where a juvenile court youth services officer also serves as an auxiliary officer for the sheriff's department, and there is also a conflict of interest where a juvenile court youth services officer works part time as a member of the police department of a city within the county. T.C.A. 58-8-213, §37-1-102-103, §37-1-105-106, §37-1-128, §38-3-101-102, §38-3-108, §38-8-101, S38-8-110. 93-14 EDUCATION:Superintendent of Public Instruction: A legislative body of a county where the county school superintendent is not currently appointed by the school board which wishes to exercise its option temporarily to retain that county's current method of appointing or electing the superintendent, may exercise its option to tetain that method at any time within the year prior to such appointment.
