CaliforniaContractors would risk license discipline for certain professional practice violations
California’s contractor licensing board would have explicit grounds to discipline contractors who deliberately violate certain professional practice rules, including bans on working without a required professional license.
What it does
Licensed contractors who deliberately violate certain rules for other professions, including bans on unlicensed practice, would face explicit grounds for discipline against their contractor licenses.
Argument forExplicit grounds for discipline could help the licensing board hold contractors accountable when they deliberately break other professions’ practice rules.
Argument againstThe broader grounds for discipline could put contractors’ licenses at risk over violations involving other professions’ practice rules.
More detail
The contractors licensing board would gain explicit grounds to discipline contractors for certain professional practice violations. This applies to licensed contractors and specified rules for architecture, landscape architecture, engineering, geology, geophysics, and land surveying. The contractor must willfully or deliberately disregard and violate a covered prohibition. A covered violation would allow discipline; it would not automatically require a penalty.
