California Expands Cannabis Contractor Bond Requirements in 2025

Starting January 1, 2025, California will expand its bonding requirements for contractors working with licensed cannabis businesses. All general contractors and trade subcontractors must now secure a $25,000 performance bond when working on licensed cannabis facilities, ensuring compliance with strict building codes and safety standards. This move aims to protect licensed operators and maintain public trust in regulated projects.
Contractors are encouraged to update their bond portfolios to meet these new state mandates.
