Summary
The board voted to submit four non‑controversial statutory corrections to the 2026 omnibus bill: remove an obsolete cross‑reference, delete a completed study requirement, remove outdated exam rescheduling fee language, and update advisory committee membership to reflect a merger.
The Contractors State License Board approved submitting four non‑substantive changes to contractors' law for inclusion in the 2026 omnibus bill.
Chief May described the proposed corrections: remove an obsolete cross‑reference to a code section repealed in 2017; delete a study requirement that CSLB completed and reported to the Legislature by Jan. 1, 2018; remove an outdated reference to rescheduling exam fees (those fees are now collected by the exam vendor PSI); and update the list of member organizations on the Construction Management Education Account advisory committee to reflect a recent merger and the new name United Contractors.
Board members asked whether changing the membership list could create an even/odd voting split on the advisory committee; staff said replacing the single merged association in statute is non‑substantive and adding or removing organizations would be substantive and is not part of the proposal. The board moved, seconded and approved the omnibus submission by roll call.
Next steps: staff will submit the proposed non‑substantive items to the Senate Committee on Business, Professions and Economic Development for inclusion in the omnibus bill.
