Contractors: civil actions: reporting.

Abstract

Existing law, the Contractors' State License Law, provides for the licensure, regulation, and discipline of contractors by the Contractors' State License Board. Existing law requires the board, with the approval of the Director of Consumer Affairs, to appoint a registrar of contractors to serve as the executive officer and secretary of the board. Under existing law, protection of the public is required to be the highest priority for the Contractors' State License Board in exercising its licensing, regulatory, and disciplinary functions. Existing law requires a licensee to report to the registrar within 90 days of the date that the licensee has knowledge of the conviction of the licensee for any felony or any other crime substantially related to the qualifications, functions, and duties of a licensed contractor. Existing law also exempts from disclosure to the public a complaint resolved in favor of the contractor, as specified. This bill would require a licensee to report to the registrar within 90 days of the date that the licensee has knowledge of any civil action resulting in a final judgment, executed settlement agreement, or final arbitration award in an action in which the licensee is named as a defendant or cross-defendant, that meets specified criteria, including that the amount or value of the judgment, settlement payment, or award is $1,000,000 or greater and that the action is the result of a claim for damages to a property or person allegedly caused by specified construction activities of a licensee on any part of a multifamily rental residential structure, as specified. The bill would require the registrar or a designee to review these reports, return them to the licensee, and take no further action if, upon review, the registrar or a designee makes any one of specified findings. The bill would deem a returned report to be a complaint resolved in favor of the licensee. The bill would further require, within 30 days of all or a portion of the insurer's payment of the judgment, settlement payment, or award, an insurer providing a specified type of insurance to that licensee to report listed information relating to the judgment, settlement payment, or award to the registrar. Existing constitutional provisions require that a statute that limits the right of access to the meetings of public bodies or the writings of public officials and agencies be adopted with findings demonstrating the interest protected by the limitation and the need for protecting that interest. This bill would make legislative findings to that effect.
