Existing law, the Contractors State License Law, requires the Contractors State License Board, on or before January 1, 2019, to adopt an enhancement to the current contractor license check search function on its Internet Web site to permit consumers to search for a licensed contractor either by ZIP Code or geographic location.
This bill would require the Contractors State License Board, on or before January 1, 2020, to adopt an enhancement to the current contractor license check search function on its Internet Web site to permit consumers and licensees to monitor the status and progress of a successfully filed workers compensation certification that is pending before the board, as specified.
Existing law requires a contractor to comply with specified documentation of workers compensation insurance coverage as a condition precedent to receiving or maintaining the contractors license.
This bill would state that these provisions do not change the requirements for workers compensation documentation.
