To be exempt from workers’ compensation, an applicant or licensee must submit this form to CSLB, certifying under penalty of perjury that
he or she does not employ anyone in a manner that is subject to the workers’ compensation laws of California. (See Business and Professions

claim of exemption executed under this form will no longer be valid. I also understand that, as soon as I employ anyone subject to the California’s
workers’ compensation laws, I must obtain a Certificate of Workers’ Compensation Insurance, submit that certificate to CSLB within 90 days of its

comply with this requirement is grounds for disciplinary action. (The definition of “perjury” is telling a lie while under oath.)
