Based on the CSLB-sponsored Senate Bill 216 that was just passed 09/30/22, the CSLB will be requiring all contractors to get a workers comp policy with or without employees effective 01/01/2026. The following trades, however, will be required to get workers comp policies starting 01/01/2023:
C-8 (Concrete),
C-20 (Warm-Air Heating, Ventilating and Air-Conditioning),
C-22 (Asbestos Abatement), and
D-49 (Tree Service)
This is in addition to the existing law that already requires C-39 (Roofing) contractors to have a workers comp policy in place.
