This bill died with 2018 Regular Session. It reached “Passed Senate” and never advanced before the session ended, so it can no longer move — a new version would have to be reintroduced in the current session.
This bill is no longer active — its legislative session has ended, so there is no live prognosis. It would have to be reintroduced in the current session to move again.
Summary
Exempts from licensure any person who is performing work directly under the supervision of a licensed contractor and is (i) a student in good standing and enrolled in a public or private institution of higher education, (ii) a student enrolled in a career training or technical education program, or (iii) an apprentice. The bill expands a current exemption from licensure for work undertaken by a person providing construction, remodeling, repair, improvement, removal, or demolition on behalf of a properly licensed contractor by raising the value threshold from $2,500 or less to $5,000 or less per project and by adding a home improvement building contractor classification to the list of valid licenses the supervising contractor may hold.

What changed in the latest version
17 added · 20 removedPlain-language change summary
The amendments to Bill SB 569 clarify the requirements for people involved in the repair or improvement of certain buildings, such as those used for industrial and manufacturing purposes. Specifically, it now states that these individuals must obtain a certificate of occupancy before selling the property, unless the buyer agrees in writing to purchase it without this certificate. This change is important because it aims to ensure safety and compliance with building standards, ultimately protecting future occupants and buyers of the property.
