CA SB560

Requires licensing boards (including the State Bar and Bureau of Real Estate) to submit personal information about licensees to the Employment Development Department, in addition to existing requirements to report to the Franchise Tax Board.

Mandates licensing boards collect federal employer identification numbers from partnerships and individual taxpayer identification numbers or social security numbers from all other applicants at time of license issuance.

Authorizes the Contractors' State License Board's enforcement division to enforce compliance with workers' compensation insurance requirements under Labor Code Section 3700.5.

Establishes that failure to provide required identification numbers results in licensing boards reporting licensees to the Franchise Tax Board and subjects them to penalties and inability to process license applications.

Protects the confidentiality of identification numbers by prohibiting disclosure except to the Franchise Tax Board, Employment Development Department, or for reciprocal licensing verification under specified agreements.
