When the CSLB issues a citation against a licensed contractor, how long is that citation generally disclosed to the public?

Explanation

§7124.6(e)(1)(A) fixes both ends of the window: a citation is disclosed from the date of issuance and for five years after the date of compliance — so the clock that decides when it comes down starts when the licensee has actually paid and corrected, not when the citation went out, which is the distinction (b) misses. The paragraph adds a condition worth carrying: if additional disciplinary action is filed during those five years, all of the actions stay posted for as long as the most recent one is disclosable, and §7124.6(e)(1)(B) carries the disclosure onto the record of any other licence that shares a qualifier listed among its personnel of record. (c) is wrong because the section ends disclosure at the close of the stated period, and (d) is wrong at the opposite extreme. The one-year figure in (b) is not invented from nothing: §7124.6(c)(2) discloses a letter of admonishment for either one year or two. An accusation that ended in suspension, stayed suspension or stayed revocation gets seven years after settlement under §7124.6(e)(2).
