	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 1538, Berg.  Construction contractors.
   Existing law, the Contractors' State License Law, creates the
Contractors' State License Board within the Department of Consumer
Affairs and provides for the licensure and regulation of contractors.
  Existing law requires a plumbing contractor, electrical sign
contractor, and well-drilling contractor to display his or her name,
business address, and contractor's license number on each side of
each motor vehicle used in his or her business.
   This bill would require a contractor, except those specified
above, to display his or her contractor's license number and business
name in or on each commercially registered motor vehicle used in his
or her construction business.


THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:


  SECTION 1.  Section 7029.6 is added to the Business and Professions
Code, to read:
   7029.6.  Except for contractors identified in Section 7029.5,
every contractor licensed under this chapter shall have displayed, in
or on each motor vehicle used in his or her construction business,
for which a commercial vehicle registration fee has been paid
pursuant to Article 3 (commencing with Section 9400) of Chapter 6 of
Division 3 of the Vehicle Code, his or her business name and
contractors' license number in a clearly visible location in print
type of at least 72-point font or three-quarters of an inch in height
and width.
