This is not the fastest govt agency and it isn't without an occasional bad apple, but all things considered I think they do an alright job. They verify and enforce the competency of all contractors in California, which is a seriously important function of govt, a massive Herculean mountain of work, and a totally thankless job. No little kid dreams of becoming a CSLB worker. Furthermore, the contractors they work for don't like them because take time and complying with regulations costs money, which is why CSLB has a low rating and I bet they hear BS from contractors all day. Despite this, the workers themselves have been helpful, competent, and motivated and I think the board is effective and beneficial for both taxpayers and contractors.. There are much worse parts of the California government.
