state seal

Administrative policy for all CSLB operations is guided by a fifteen-member board. The Board is comprised of five contractor members and 10 public members.

The contractor members include one "A" General Engineering contractor, two "B" General Building contractors, and two "C" Specialty contractors. The public members include one labor representative, one local building official, and one who is a representative of a statewide senior citizen organization. The Governor is responsible for 11 appointments; the Senate Rules Committee for two appointments, and the Assembly Speaker for two appointments.

Board members receive compensation of $100 per diem for each day spent on Board business, plus expenses. This is a small price to pay for the expertise and dedication CSLB receives in exchange.
