INTRODUCED BY   Assembly Member Frazier

                        FEBRUARY 27, 2015

   An act to amend Section 7058 of the Business and Professions Code,
relating to contractors.


	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 1208, as introduced, Frazier. Specialty contractors.
   Existing law, the Contractors' State License Law, provides for the
licensure and regulation of contractors by the Contractors' State
License Board within the Department of Consumer Affairs. That law
provides for the classification of a speciality contractor and
defines a "specialty contractor" as a contractor whose operations
involve the performance of construction work requiring special skill
and whose principal contracting business involves the use of
specialized building trades or crafts, as provided.
   This bill would make nonsubstantive changes to that definition.
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: no.
State-mandated local program: no.
