Existing law, the Contractors State License Law, establishes the Contractors State License Board to license and regulate contractors and establishes the Registrar of Contractors as the executive officer and secretary of the board. Existing law requires the registrar, upon receipt of the Labor Commissioner’s finding of a willful or deliberate violation of the Labor Code by a licensee or transmission to the board of citations or other actions taken by the Division of Occupational Safety and Health, to initiate disciplinary action against the licensee within 18 months.

This bill would state the intent of the Legislature to enact subsequent legislation strengthening remedies against licensed contractors who repeatedly commit labor violations against workers.
