Approximately how many Class C specialty contractor classifications does the CSLB issue?
Explanation
The list is regulatory, not statutory: 16 CCR §832 runs from C-2, insulation and acoustical, through C-61, limited specialty, and more than forty C classifications are issued, each tied to a separate craft — C-10 electrical, C-36 plumbing, C-39 roofing, C-27 landscaping, C-33 painting and so on. §7058(a) supplies the definition those classifications implement, and §7059(a) is what keeps a licensee inside the one it holds. (a) and (c) simply undercount; (b) undercounts and also misdescribes the scheme, because the classifications are organised by craft and not by the type of structure; and the rough figure matters less than knowing that each classification is its own licence with its own experience and examination.
