The CSLB has provided an update on the new Remodeling Contractors License.
At the December 12th Board meeting, I asked for an update on the new remodeling contractors license. The Board stated that the new legislation has been submitted to the legislature and the bill has a sponsor.
It should go up for a vote sometime in 2020. When it will be inactive, I don’t know. Perhaps July 1, 2020, or January 1, 2021.
As I mentioned in a previous post, this new classification, called the B-2, will have a huge, positive impact on the construction industry and to business in California.
Sorry... couldn't pass it up!The B-2 will allow so many more contractors obtain their license so that they can perform work legally, earn more money, and provide better assurances to consumers with CSLB oversight. And this new license should drastically reduce the number of underground contractors.
Because of the severe restrictions in place for obtaining the B classification, the B-2 will not include the framing component, which is the hardest part for most applicants to prove under the B.
We don’t know yet what the minimum experience requirements will be for the new B-2, so stay tuned. As soon as I know, I’ll pass it on to you.
I’m pleased as punch that the new remodeling contractors license is going to happen!

Hi David,
It’s still set for an 8/1 release and we’re waiting on the cslb to let us know what the B-2 exam will cover. I’ll keep you posted and will let you know when we have a B-2 exam prep kit available.
Thanks for checking in! 🙂
Hi there. Do you know if there is any new information about the B2 qualifications? Is it still 4 years of experience, excluding the structural framing components?
Thanks,
Nolan
Hi Nolan,
Yes, the B2 will have the same four year experience requirement, minus the framing component. I’ll know next week when the new classification will be released.
