An act to amend Section 7027.2 of the Business and Professions Code, relating to contractors.

LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST

AB 1874, as introduced, Smith. Contractors: unlicensed work.

Existing law, the Contractors State License Law, establishes the Contractors State License Board within the Department of Consumer Affairs and sets forth its powers and duties relating to the licensure and regulation of contractors.

Existing law authorizes a person who is not licensed as a contractor to advertise for construction work or a work of improvement covered by existing law only if the aggregate contract price for labor, material, and all other items on a project or undertaking is less than $500, and the person states in the advertisement that they are not a licensed contractor.

This bill would, instead, authorize a person who is not licensed as a contractor to advertise for construction work or a work of improvement covered by existing law if the aggregate contract price for labor is less than $500, and the person states in the advertisement that they are not a licensed contractor.
