Cal. Civ. Code § 8-2-22
Rules governing licensing of trades, professions, and businesses.
Operative Text
Provisions for licensing trades, professions, and businesses covered by the provisions of this article shall be as determined by Chapter 14 of Title 43 and the rules and regulations of the State Construction Industry Licensing Board created in such chapter.
Under O.C.G.A. § 8-2-22, the licensing requirements for trades, professions, and businesses that fall within this article's scope are not set out independently here — instead, they are governed by Chapter 14 of Title 43 and the rules issued by the State Construction Industry Licensing Board. In other words, this provision functions as a cross-reference, directing readers to the Board's chapter and regulations for the actual licensing standards. The practical effect is that anyone seeking to understand what licenses are required must look to those external authorities.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Property owners and managers who hire contractors or tradespeople for construction, renovation, or repair work covered by O.C.G.A. § 8-2-22 should be aware that applicable licensing standards are set by Chapter 14 of Title 43 and the State Construction Industry Licensing Board's regulations. Compliant operators generally verify that any trade or construction professional they engage holds a current, valid license as required under those authorities. Keeping records of contractor license information is a common practice among operators working within this framework.

O.C.G.A. § 8-2-22 establishes that licensing for construction trades and related professions is governed by the State Construction Industry Licensing Board under Chapter 14 of Title 43, which can be relevant when work is performed on a rental property. Tenants who have concerns about whether contractors performing work in their unit or building are properly licensed may look up license status through the Board's public records or contact a tenant-rights organization for general guidance. Understanding this cross-reference can help tenants identify the appropriate regulatory body if questions about contractor qualifications arise.
