AB 2287: Contractors: disciplinary action.
What AB 2287 does, verified March 24, 2026
This bill aims to amend the state's contractors' licensing law to provide protection for contractors who use advanced technologies, tools, and equipment in their work. Currently, willful or deliberate disregard of state building laws can lead to disciplinary action against licensees. However, the bill seeks to exempt contractors who use these technologies from disciplinary action, as they are not intentionally violating the law. This change is intended to encourage innovation and modernization in the construction industry.

LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST
AB 2287, as introduced, Michelle Rodriguez. Contractors: disciplinary action.

Existing law makes the willful or deliberate disregard and violation of the building laws of the state or of specified other provisions of law a cause for disciplinary action against a licensee.
Notwithstanding this provision, this bill would provide that a licensee who engages in the use of technologies, tools, and equipment in the course of performing construction work pursuant to the Contractors’ State License Law is not subject to a cause for disciplinary action against themselves.
