California SB1165 amends contractor licensing rules to suspend licenses for unresolved outstanding liabilities.

California SB1165 amends the Business and Professions Code to suspend or refuse contractor licenses for unresolved outstanding liabilities, including taxes, penalties, and fees. The California Department of Tax and Fee Administration can suspend licenses if the licensee fails to resolve these debts. Personnel associated with suspended licenses are barred from licensed roles but can work as nonsupervising employees. The suspension takes effect 60 days after the Franchise Tax Board provides necessary licensing information.
