SACRAMENTO, Calif. ?EUR??,,????'??? A California Landscape Contractors Association-sponsored bill designed to allow landscape contractors to bid on swimming pools and/or spa projects is scheduled for a hearing in the state Assembly?EUR??,,????'???s Business and Professions Committee. The measure, AB 341, responds to a 2002 written opinion from the Contractors State License Board (CSLB) stating, ?EUR??,,????'??a C-27 landscaping contractor may not bid swimming pools and/or spas.?EUR??,,????'?? The opinion came as a surprise to many CLCA members, who understood that a 1988 change in the C-27 license language allowed for landscape contractors to subcontract this work to swimming pool contractors. In addition to the 1988 change to C-27, the CLCA notes that the CSLB allows other specialty contractors to subcontract out work this is essential to a project. AB 341 is currently in discussion by the Business and Professions committee. Contractors who want to help this bill become law can contact CLCA Assistant Executive Director Larry Rohlfes at 800-448-2522, or larryrohlfes@clca.org.
