Contractors Facing Suspension in California
3,870 contractor licences in California are under advance notice of suspension — as of 2026-09-30, counted from the state licensing board's own published status. The board still lists them as clear, so they can legally work today. The suspension lands unless the missing coverage is filed.

|---|---|---|
| Workers' compensation coverage | 3,466 | filing a workers' comp policy |
