Contractors: discipline: building law violations.
- Expands grounds for disciplining licensed contractors who violate state building and professional practice laws.
- Adds violations of architecture, engineering, geology, and land surveying regulations as causes for contractor discipline.
- Strengthens the Contractors State License Board's authority to enforce professional standards and safety regulations.
Assembly Member Hoover's contractor discipline legislation expands the definition of "building laws" under California's Contractors State License Law to include regulations governing architecture, landscape architecture, engineering, geology, and land surveying practices. The measure adds these professional practice requirements to the list of laws that, if willfully violated, constitute grounds for disciplinary action against licensed contractors.
The bill specifies that building laws encompass existing prohibitions on unlicensed practice in these fields, as outlined in multiple Business and Professions Code sections. This change allows the Contractors State License Board to take disciplinary action against contractors who disregard regulations related to these allied professions. The measure maintains current provisions that enable discipline for violations of safety laws, labor laws, insurance requirements, and other construction-related regulations.
Under the amended code, contractors must comply with an explicitly defined set of professional practice requirements beyond traditional building codes and permits. The Contractors State License Board retains its existing enforcement authority and procedures while gaining clearer statutory basis for addressing violations that cross into regulated design and engineering disciplines.
