Which Business and Professions Code section specifically addresses the grounds for disciplinary action against contractors?
Correct Answer
B) Section 7106
B&P Code Section 7106 specifically outlines the various grounds for disciplinary action against licensed contractors.
Why This Is the Correct Answer
B&P Code Section 7106 is the specific provision that enumerates the grounds upon which the CSLB may take disciplinary action against a licensed contractor. It covers causes such as fraud, misrepresentation, failure to pay wages, and other violations.
Why the Other Options Are Wrong
Option A: Section 7110
Section 7110 addresses other licensing provisions but is not the primary section for grounds of disciplinary action. Candidates may select this because numbers close to 7106 seem similar in scope.
Option C: Section 7099
Section 7099 does not specifically address disciplinary grounds. It falls in a different part of the contractor licensing code addressing other administrative matters.
Option D: Section 7090
Section 7090 relates to other regulatory requirements and does not enumerate disciplinary grounds. The lower section number may mislead candidates into thinking it covers foundational enforcement rules.
Memory Technique
Remember '7106 = Discipline': 7+1+0+6 = 14, and disciplinary actions involve '14 ways' the CSLB can act. Alternatively, think of '106' as '10 + 6' — the ten major violation categories plus the six-digit section number pattern in licensing law.
