Summary
The Contractors' State License Law provides for the licensing and regulation of contractors by the Contractors' State License Board, and authorizes the board to institute disciplinary actions for a violation thereof. Existing law provides for specialty classifications within the contracting business, including the C-16 fire protection classification. Existing law prohibits a general contractor from contracting for any project that includes a C-16 fire protection classification unless he or she holds that license classification or subcontracts with an appropriately licensed contractor. This bill would, on and after January 1, 2011, require any commercial or residential fire sprinkler installation project performed by a Class C-16 fire protection contractor to be under the direct and immediate supervision, as defined, of a commercial fire sprinkler supervisor, as defined, or a residential fire sprinkler supervisor, as defined. The bill would also, on and after January 1, 2011, require fire protection contractors to implement a fire sprinkler installation training program for their sprinkler fitters, as defined, and supervisors, with specified exemptions. The bill would also require a contractor to file, as specified, a description of this training program with the State Fire Marshal. The bill would require a contractor, upon request by state or local fire authorities, to show proof that the contractor's sprinkler fitters and supervisors have received training, and would provide that a violation of these provisions by a contractor is grounds for disciplinary action.
