What actions can the NSCB take based on findings from the CMS?

The NSCB (Nevada State Contractors Board) can take significant actions based on findings from the Contractor Management Survey (CMS), and implementing training programs and policy changes directly addresses the insights gleaned from these findings.

When the CMS reveals areas where contractors may lack compliance, skill, or knowledge, the NSCB can develop targeted training programs to help ensure that contractors are better equipped to meet regulations and industry standards. Policy changes may also be necessary to address systemic issues that are uncovered during the survey process. This proactive approach helps to improve overall contractor performance, safety, and compliance with state laws, ultimately benefiting the industry and consumers.

In contrast, increasing licensing fees may not directly correlate with the findings of the CMS, as the focus is more on contractor performance and education rather than on financial aspects. Limiting the number of new contractors entering the market would not be a constructive reaction, as it doesn't resolve existing problems or improve the quality of services. Conducting regular inspections, while valuable for oversight, may not directly stem from the CMS findings and is more of a compliance measure rather than a developmental initiative.

Therefore, implementing training programs and policy changes is a strategic and effective response grounded in the continuous improvement principle that the CMS supports.
