There are several laws in place that govern the actions of all California contractors. However, several new laws in the year 2005 have been formulated alongside the existing ones, affecting all contractors operating in the state of California. The major laws that have been incorporated are listed below, and their highlights given. All the laws are in accordance with the guidelines laid down by CSLB.

7048 Alters the law that makes it mandatory for unlicensed contractors to furnish a written “Unlicensed Disclosure” announcement for works of improvement under $500. Effective from January 1, 2005, this prerequisite has been annulled.
7068 Modifies the law that set aside an applicant for licensure guilty of a breach of Section 7028 (contracting without a license) from submitting an application for a license for one year from the date of the sentence. As of now this provision stands abolished.

The licensee or registrant is obliged to make available this evidence within 90 days of the disposition and is open to punitive measure for failing to meet the terms.
7085 – This alteration in law enlarges the sort of cases that are suitable for the settlement program by counting all works of expansion, barely home development as delineated under Section 7151.
