Coverage lapses in California

Every contractor counted below is under a deadline the California licensing board published itself, and each one is cleared by somebody writing a policy or a bond. The directory counts further down are the whole roster; these are the ones who have to buy.

You write workers’ comp

The board has already told these contractors they will be suspended. They are working today and the notice is public.
