Are you looking to minimize risk for your construction trades business? Cal Commercial Insurance (+1 949 771-7731) has you covered with their new State Fund alternative plans!
The independent agents’ new State Fund workers' comp alternative coverage options will give you peace of mind and ensure that your construction trades business license is protected and compliant with the new law that is effective January 1, 2023. Plans are substantially lower than the CA State Fund rates, and Cal Commercial’s agents will help you find coverage that suits your business.
In October of 2022, the Contractors State License Board issued Important Notices to HVAC and Concrete Contractors, notifying them of a new California law (Senate Bill 216, Chapter 978, Statutes of 2022).

The new law requires proof of workers' compensation on file with the Contractors State License Board (CSLB) for C-20 Heating, Ventilating, Air Conditioning and C-8 Concrete Contractors. As of January 1, 2023, no license in these classifications will be issued, reinstated, reactivated, or renewed without proof of workers' compensation insurance.
The letters received were unexpected because previously, a sole owner of an HVAC or Concrete business without any employees didn't have any requirements for workers' compensation insurance. Workers' Compensation Insurance insures a business' employees in case of injury on the job.
The letter also lists Important Deadlines as follows.
-As of July 1, 2023, any contractor holding a C-8 or C-20 who has not filed proof of workers' compensation will have that classification removed.
Many contractors in the construction trades have gone to the California State Fund Compensation Insurance for workers comp, without knowing that insurance agencies that specialize in the construction and artisan trades, like Cal Commercial Insurance, have insurance carriers that offer substantial rate savings for most of the building construction trades, compared to California's State Compensation Insurance Fund (SCIF).
Cal Commercial Insurance also offers unique benefits as independent agents. They do not work for an insurance company but rather represent a group of personally selected insurance companies that prefer to insure the construction trades. This allows you to shop around for coverage, choose the best option for you, and receive a more competitive price!
