I’ve welcomed the enactment of SB 392 (Florez) which authorizes the Contractors’ State License Board to issue contractor’s licenses to limited liability companies. Potential LLC licensees should note, however, that SB 392 imposes significant surety bond and liability insurance requirements on LLC’s.

Because SB 392 takes effect in a few weeks, I called the CSLB to ask about implementation of the bill. After wending my way through the CSLB’s Byzantine voice mail system, I was able to connect with a human being who quickly pronounced “We’re not even talking about that”.
