CONTRACTORS STATE LICENSE BOARD - Bills Affecting HVAC Contractors

[mtnelect]

The Contractors State License Board (CSLB) reviewed current bills in the California Legislator related to contractors and CSLB operations at a Board meeting in Sacramento June 16. Two CSLB sponsored bills continue to move through the Legislature that would directly impact some C-20 HVAC contractors - one requiring workers' compensation insurance for all licensed C-20 contractors effective July 1, 2023: and another bill to increase the maximum fine for failure to obtain required building permits from $5,000 to $50,000 for all contractors. In addition, a bill requiring the California Energy Commission to develop and maintain a HVAC equipment repository and registry and compliance tracking system is moving through the Legislature. August 31 is the last day for each house to pass bills, and September 30 is the last day for the Governor to sign or veto bills.

I’m guessing the maximum fine is per incident too ?

WTF. I guess I need to buy a bunch of off roster air conditioners before you can't buy an air conditioner anymore.
