CSLB Investigations: The Rules Of The Road

Many contractors do not know that they have important rights and protections during a CSLB investigation. What should a contractor do or not do, say or not say, when they receive a CSLB investigation letter?

KEY POINTS

  • Please be aware that nearly half of all applications submitted to CSLB are inaccurate or incomplete and must be returned to the applicant for correction or completion!
  • An incomplete application can needlessly delay your license. Delays can last several weeks or even months and possibly result in the application being deemed abandoned and becoming void and the application fee being forfeited.
  • Applicants with criminal convictions are not automatically denied licensure, each application is reviewed individually based on the applicable sections of law. When reviewing criminal convictions, CSLB considers factors such as the nature and severity of the crimes.
  • Leave no space blank. If a particular question or request for information does not apply to you, write “N/A” in the blank space to indicate that the question has received your attention but that it is not applicable.
  • The terms “qualifying individual” and “qualifier” are used interchangeably. A qualifying individual is required for every classification on every license issued by CSLB. The qualifying individual may or may not be the owner of the business.
