Official Summary Text

AB 2287, as introduced, Michelle Rodriguez.
Contractors: disciplinary action.
Existing law, the Contractors State License Law, establishes the Contractors State License Board to license and regulate contractors. Existing law makes the willful or deliberate disregard and violation of the building laws of the state or of specified other provisions of law a cause for disciplinary action against a licensee.
Notwithstanding this provision, this bill would provide that a licensee who engages in the use of technologies, tools, and equipment in the course of performing construction work pursuant to the Contractors’ State License Law is not subject to a cause for disciplinary action against themselves.
