Contractor Coverage Lapses by State
Every contractor counted on these pages is under a deadline the state licensing board published itself: a bond cancelling on a known date, an advance notice of suspension, or a suspension already in force. Each one is cleared by somebody writing a policy or a bond.
You write surety bonds
A bond event names a contractor who has to buy something to keep working — and names the day he stops if he doesn’t.
You write workers’ comp
The board has already told these contractors they will be suspended. They are working today and the notice is public.
You write GL and general liability
The other lane is arrivals — a licence issued to a business that has never bought a policy from anyone. That family has its own hub: newly licensed contractors by state.
Counts come from each state's licensing register, refreshed weekly, and each page carries its own as-of date. A state appears here only where its register publishes the field the page is about — most do not, which is why this list is short and why it names the state on every row.
FAQ
What is a contractor coverage lapse?
A contractor licence carries coverage conditions — a licence bond, and workers' compensation once there are employees. When the cover ends, the board publishes it: as a scheduled bond cancellation date, as an advance notice of suspension, or as a suspension already in force. The contractor cannot legally keep working until somebody writes the replacement.

How current are these counts?
Each is a present-tense count off the most recent pull of that state's own register, refreshed weekly, and every page names the date it was counted. None of them is a rate or a projection.

Get the signal, not the directory
The counts on these pages are free. A paid feed carries the underlying records for one state, sold to one agency in it. Which signals a state can carry is decided by what its board publishes — each state's card says which, and what it costs. 7 contractor states are open today.
