Here's something I thought you all might find interesting.

"CSLB has taken its enforcement efforts against unlicensed operators who advertise in various online and print media outlets a step further. Business and Professions Code Section 7099.0 enables CSLB to notify the state Public Utilities Commission to have an illegal advertiser's telephone line disconnected. These disconnect actions began as a pilot project in July 2010. CSLB consumer services representatives or programming technicians first identify potential illegal advertising by unlicensed operators. If they determine the ad leads to a phone umber where ulicensed contracting services are being offered, a citation is recommended. That recommendation is further investigated by enforcement representatives who are assigned to the Intake Mediation Center. If warrented, the citation is issued. After 15 days, if the citation has not been appealed and the line is not voluntarily disconnected, the order to disconnect the phone line becomes final."
 
The first place they should start is at "Craigslist" and actually teach a lesson to the the unlicensed contractor.
 
Too little too late

Too little too late

In my humble opinion the political organization running the CSLB has been at the publically provided trough much too long for the lip service they provide from time to time; actually benefiting contractors. They get funded from Contractors but have conveniently forgotten that fact and instead focus mostly on protecting homeowners. By the time they realize who?s really paying their salaries it will be too late for most of us. As such I really don't give a ____ where their next revenue stream will then come from after we're out of work, retired and moved out of state; good luck getting any of the remaining unlicensed competition to ante up.
 
How about a little job site enforcement. I have worked in states were the first thing an inspector did was line us up to see if we had the proper documentation. And if not Fines were on the way.
