Business & LicensingQuestion 420 of 1632

A consumer reviews a contractor's license record on the CSLB website. Which of the following information is the consumer most likely to see disclosed publicly?

a.The balance in the contractor's personal bank account
b.The details of the contractor's home mortgage loan
c.The contractor's individual income tax return figures
d.Citations from the past five years and the licence status

Explanation

§7124.6 is the section that decides what the registrar publishes. §7124.6(d) makes the date, nature and disposition of all legal actions public, and §7124.6(e)(1)(A) fixes the window for citations: disclosed from the date of issuance and for five years after the date of compliance, provided no further disciplinary action was filed against the licensee in that period — and if one was, everything stays posted as long as the most recent action is disclosable. §7124.6(e)(2) gives accusations that ended in suspension, stayed suspension or stayed revocation a seven-year window after settlement. §7124.6(a) also opens up complaints referred for accusation, or referred for investigation after enforcement staff found a probable violation serious enough for suspension, revocation or prosecution, with the disclaimer §7124.6(b) requires to make clear that a complaint is only an allegation, while §7124.6(c)(1) keeps complaints resolved in the contractor's favour off the record. None of that reaches the private financial material in (a), (b) and (c), which the board does not collect in the first place.
