Which statement about the contractor's license must appear in the home improvement contract's required notices?
Explicación
B&P §7030(b) requires every licensee to include, in at least 12-point type, in all home improvement contracts and service and repair contracts, the 'Information about the Contractors State License Board (CSLB)' notice: that CSLB is the state consumer protection agency that licenses and regulates contractors, that the owner can contact it about disclosable complaints, disciplinary actions and civil judgments, that a complaint filed within the legal deadline (usually four years) can be investigated, and that a buyer who uses an unlicensed contractor may have no remedy but a civil suit — plus CSLB's website, telephone number and address. §7030(c) makes omitting it cause for discipline. It sits alongside the §7159(e) notices: commercial general liability, workers' compensation, the Mechanics Lien Warning and the cancellation notice. (a) is what a licence conspicuously does NOT do, which is why the contractor must separately disclose whether he carries commercial general liability insurance. (c) inverts the workers' compensation notice, which requires the contractor to state either that he carries coverage for all employees or that he has no employees and is exempt. (b) invents a rate-approval role; CSLB licenses and disciplines, it does not price jobs.
