(1) The legislature finds that the regulation and control of those persons engaged in the business of manufacturing, selling or installing manufactured and mobile homes is necessary to protect the health and safety of the citizens of Idaho. To that end, it shall be unlawful for any person to engage in business as a manufacturer, retailer, or installer without being duly licensed as provided in this chapter.
(2)  If the licensee fails to submit a completed application for renewal or to pay the renewal fee on or before the expiration date, the administrator may accept a later application for reinstatement subject to such conditions as the board may require by rule including, but not limited to, the assessment of a late fee; provided that between the license expiration date and the date of reinstatement of the license, the rights of the licensee under such license shall be expired and, during such period of expiration, it shall be unlawful for such licensee to do or attempt to offer to do any of the acts of the kind and nature described in the definitions in section 44-2101A, Idaho Code, in consideration of compensation of any kind or expectation thereof. An expired license that is not reinstated within six (6) months of the expiration date shall be automatically terminated by the administrator and may not be reinstated.
