As many of you know, the Contractors State License Board and other public entities have started an enforcement program that would target contractors, both licensed and unlicensed, who are suspected of illegal activity in ten counties that have District Attorneys funded by the Premium Insurance Fraud Task Force. David Fogt, Chief of Enforcement, gave us an update.
Prior to this time, the CSLB had targeted unlicensed contractors with an average of 45 undercover sting operations conducted each year throughout the state.
The new program will redirect ten of those stings in counties with Pilot Proactive Enforcement Programs. This is funded by prosecutors, to include licensed and unlicensed contractors suspected of workers compensation, insurance, payroll and or withholding violations.
We will keep you informed as to any news.
