Contractors: disclosure of letters of admonishment.

Existing law, the Contractors State License Law, establishes the Contractors State License Board within the Department of Consumer Affairs and sets forth its powers and duties relating to the licensure and regulation of contractors. 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. Existing law requires the registrar to disclose complaints against a licensee, except those complaints resolved in favor of the licensee. Existing law requires complaints resolved by a letter of admonishment to be disclosed for a period of one year. This bill would instead require the disclosure period for complaints resolved by a letter of admonishment to be either one year or 2 years, as specified.
