AB 370 Unlicensed contractors. (California)

AB 370 (Eng)

Unlicensed contractors.

AB 370, as amended, Eng. Unlicensed contractors.

Existing law, the Contractors' State License Law, provides for the

licensure and regulation of contractors by the Contractors' State

License Board. Existing law makes it a misdemeanor for a person to

engage in the business or act in the capacity of a contractor without

having a license and makes a first offense punishable by

imprisonment in the county jail for no more than 6 months, or by a

fine not exceeding $1,000, or both. Existing law requires a court to

impose upon a person who has been previously convicted of that

offense a fine of 20% of the price of the contract, as specified, or

$4,500, whichever is greater, and imprisonment in the county jail for

at least 90 days, except as specified. Existing law specifies that a

3rd or subsequent conviction is punishable by a fine of not less

than $4,500 nor more than the greater of $10,000 or 20% of the

contract price or by imprisonment in the county jail, as specified,

or both, and applies those penalty provisions to a person who is

named on a revoked license and is held responsible for the act or

omission resulting in the revocation. Existing law requires a court

to order a defendant convicted of a crime under those provisions, or

under provisions related to the offering or performance of repairs

caused by a natural disaster, to pay restitution to the victim, as

specified.

This bill would make a first conviction punishable by a fine not

exceeding $5,000 or by imprisonment in a county jail for no more than

6 months, as specified, or both. The bill would require that the

fine for a 2nd conviction be the greater of 20% of the price

of the contract price , 20% of the aggregate

payments made to, or at the direction of, the unlicensed contractor,

or $5,000. In addition, the bill would require that a 3rd or

subsequent conviction be punishable by both a fine and imprisonment

in a county jail, as specified, and would require that the fine be no

less than $5,000 and no more than the greater of $10,000, 20% of the

price of the contract price , or 20%

of the aggregate payments made to, or at the direction of, the

unlicensed contractor. By requiring 3rd or subsequent convictions to

be punishable by imprisonment in a county jail, the bill would impose

a state-mandated local program. Under the provisions described

above, the bill would also provide that a person who used the

services of an unlicensed contractor is a victim of crime and

eligible for restitution for economic losses , regardless of

whether that person had knowledge that the contractor was unlicensed.

The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local

agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the

state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that

reimbursement.

This bill would provide that no reimbursement is required by this

act for a specified reason.

    • It would be the cable appropriate to fit in the sheave size, measure what is on there currently. And 2.25 - 2.5 times longer than the fully extended boom length. You can probably find the least required number of wraps on the winch drum.
    • Done a few, do you have questions?

    • Hey everyone, I wanted to share some insights I recently explored about how digital signage is transforming communication within hospitals and healthcare environments. Whether it's patient experience, internal messaging, or emergency alerts — digital displays are making a huge impact. Here are 6 key benefits I discovered: ✅ 1. Reduced Perceived Wait Times Waiting in hospitals can be stressful. Digital signage helps by displaying health tips, entertainment, or wait time updates to ease patient anxiety and improve their experience. ✅ 2. Real-Time Emergency Alerts In urgent situations, hospitals can use digital screens to instantly broadcast important alerts or emergency codes across departments — faster and more effectively than overhead systems. ✅ 3. Improved Staff Communication From shift updates to meeting reminders, internal digital boards streamline communication and reduce confusion among staff, especially in larger facilities. ✅ 4. Wayfinding Made Easy Navigating hospitals can be confusing. Interactive digital maps and directional signs help visitors and patients get to their destination without constantly asking for help. ✅ 5. Promoting Health Campaigns Hospitals can use signage to promote wellness programs, flu shot campaigns, or COVID updates — all in a visually engaging way that captures attention. ✅ 6. Better Patient Engagement Screens in waiting areas or patient rooms can be used for educational videos, treatment FAQs, or even personalized messages — creating a more informed and connected patient experience. I wrote a full article diving deeper into each of these, if anyone wants to read more: https://www.wipath.com/top-6-advantages-of-using-digital-signs-in-hospitals/ Would love to hear your thoughts — are you seeing digital signage being used effectively in your hospitals or clinics? Cheers!
