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.

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