Existing law generally requires requires, as a condition precedent to the issuance, reinstatement, reactivation, renewal, or continued maintenance of a license, an applicant for a contractors license or a licensee to have on file at all times a current and valid Certificate of Workers Compensation Insurance or Certification of Self-Insurance, except as specified. Existing law requires an active licensee with an exemption for workers compensation insurance on file with the board, at the time of renewal, to either recertify the licensees exemption or provide a current and valid Certificate of Workers Compensation Insurance or Certification of Self-Insurance, as applicable, and prohibits renewal of a license unless a licensee satisfies those requirements. Existing law makes a violation of these provisions a misdemeanor.This bill would require an active licensee who has on file a current and valid Certificate of Workers Compensation Insurance or Certification of Self-Insurance, or is required to provide those certificates, to certify on the license renewal form the workers compensation classification codes endorsed on the licensees policy, as specified, and would prohibit renewal without that certification. The bill would provide that the board is not required to verify or investigate the accuracy of the licensees classification codes and will not be held liable for any misreported classification codes. The bill would require the board, when it updates the public license detail on its internet website for an active renewal, to include the classification codes certified by the licensee. The bill would make its provisions operative on July 1, 2024. Because the bill would expand the scope of a crime under the Contractors State License Law and expand the crime of perjury, the bill would impose a state-mandated local program.
