Opinion
HALLER, J.
At issue here is the validity of a regulation adopted by the Contractors’ State License Board (Board) prohibiting a licensed general building contractor from taking a contract or subcontract unless (1) the contract involves at least three unrelated building trades or crafts, or (2) the contractor holds the required specialty license. The regulation is title 16, California Code of Regulations, section 834, subdivision (b), 1 and, for the reasons explained below, we conclude it is invalid under these circumstances.
