June 01, 2026 — Aarni Heiskanen - AEC Business

California Contractors Get a Much-Needed Break: SB 342 Softens the Harsh Consequences of Contractor License Lapses

October 20, 2026 — Heather Frisch - The Construction Seyt
Imagine completing a multimillion-dollar project, performing quality work, paying your subcontractors, and satisfying the owner, only to discover that a temporary contractor license lapse could prevent you from recovering payment for that work or pursuing claims for extra work.
