What is a significant limitation regarding the transfer of contractor’s licenses?

A license can be transferred freely
A sole ownership license cannot be transferred
A license can be transferred to any business owner
Licenses can only be transferred once

The correct answer is: A sole ownership license cannot be transferred

The correct answer highlights an important aspect of contractor licensing in California. A sole ownership license is tied specifically to the individual who holds it, meaning that it cannot be transferred to another person or entity. This ensures that the qualifications, experience, and integrity associated with the license holder remain with that individual. If a sole proprietor wanted to continue their business after exiting the field, they would need to obtain a new license under their new business structure, rather than transfer the existing license. This regulation helps maintain a standard of accountability and responsibility, as it prevents someone else from benefiting from the original license holder's credentials and reputation. In contrast, other options imply more flexibility or broader applicability regarding license transfers, which does not accurately reflect the regulations set forth in California's Contractors State License Law.
