Specialty Contractors Needed for CSLB Industry Expert Program Get paid for your expertise and participation
SACRAMENTO — The Contractors State License Board (CSLB) is looking for licensees in specific classifications for its Industry Expert (IE) program.

CSLB currently has a sufficient number of “B” General Building contractors serving in the IE program, but needs the following classifications to work with CSLB’s various Investigative Centers: • Fresno – C-20 Warm-Air Heating, Ventilating and Air-Conditioning (HVAC); C-27 Landscaping; C-47 General Manufactured Housing • Norwalk – C-6 Cabinet, Millwork &Finishing; C-10 Electrical; C-13 Fencing; C-15 Flooring; C-16 Fire Protection; C-17 Glazing; C-20 HVAC; C-35 Lathing and Plastering; C-46 Solar; C-47 General Manufactured Housing; C-53 Swimming Pool; C-54 Tile • Sacramento – C-17Glazing; C-16 Fire Protection; C-23 Ornamental Metal; C-35 Lathing and Plastering; C-46 Solar; C-51 Structural Steel; C-53 Swimming Pool • San Bernardino – C-9 Drywall; C-13 Fencing;

IEs also testify in criminal hearings, arbitration proceedings, and administrative hearings, and also submit written testimony for reports.

Capitol Connection Q & A for Contractors By Shauna Krause, President, Capitol Services, Inc.

That’s why experts are hired to avoid mistakes. But first a contractor playing by the rules has issues with some others who aren’t…
possible these suspensions are temporary due to issues with a Bond or Worker’s Compensation Insurance.

You’re correct, in that the Contractors Board regularly conducts sting operations to catch unlicensed operators; however, these same operations can also catch contractors whose license is Suspended or Expired. Since I do not know who these contractors are, it is
reading your article, I am trying to determine if under this law I am going to need to have my project lead carpenters registered with the CSLB as well. They are production employees that also oversee the project when the CEO is not onsite. While they do not handle sales, they do manage other employees on site, our subcontractors, and schedule materials as part of the project oversight. Thank you for the clarification, I appreciate being able to call for more help. A: Actually that bill is related to construction consultants needing a contractor’s license in order to handle Home Improvement Contracts. The bill was not related to HIS (Salespersons).

REDUCE YOUR WORKERS’ COMP INSURANCE COSTS The SBCA and 25 Builder’s Exchanges in California have joined to form the Golden State Builders Exchange (GSBE). Participation in this group insurance program may significantly reduce the cost of your workers’ compensation premiums over a State Compensation Insurance Fund individual policy. Qualifying SBCA members are eligible for a 6% discount. Ask to be placed into the SBCA Group 821. Please call the SBCA office for more information and conversion form. If you are already with State Fund, please call us or your broker to see if you qualify for this group program. www.statefundca.com
