## Title 4.5. Home Builder Registration

### Subtitle 7. Home Builder Guaranty Fund

#### Section 4.5-712

(a) If the Division pays a claim against the Guaranty Fund based on an act or omission of a registrant, the Division may suspend the home builder registration until the registrant reimburses the Fund in full for:

  (1) the amount paid from the Guaranty Fund; and

  (2) interest on that amount at a rate determined by the Division so as not to exceed the legal rate of interest on a judgment in place at the time a claim is approved.

(b) Reimbursement of the Guaranty Fund in full by a registrant, by itself, does not nullify or modify the effect of a disciplinary proceeding against a registrant.

(c) If a home builder holds a license or registration in Montgomery County, the county may suspend the license as provided in this section.
