In California, can a HVAC technician replace the unit's electrical disconnect?

Yeah the CLSB law Michael posted has a section :

All they would need to do to eliminate the "trunk slammers" is add C10, C7 and whatever C solar/energy storage is these days to that list in 7057(C) .
I am sure there are builder's (general B) with in house electrical crews that would lobby hard against such a change, but until that law applies to everyone it undercuts the C10's.
They'd need a 02 equivalent and I think they should make a restricted c10 for those individuals.

Most HVAC contractors hold a C20 license, which covers a lot of the related work, but not all of it. Technically, to stay on the safe side with liability, it’s usually better for a licensed electrician (C10) to handle anything beyond the HVAC unit itself, especially when it comes to electrical wiring and components like disconnects.
