If California 'enforces' this law is open to question.
The CSLB scarcely enforces the law against unlicensed contractors, and they are easy to find and sting. All that they'd have to do is read the classifieds.
BTW the test is so 'easy' that 20% are washing out. The weakest players have stalled the longest. Failure rates have climbed from the beginning.
The test as given doubles as an intelligence test. Federal case law has ruled against any test that has that character being given by an employer. Whether the State of California is permitted to do so... time will tell.
