Cal. Code Regs. tit. 3 § 151
A successful candidate shall be given a statewide license of eligibility which shall be valid for five years unless revoked. An inspector/biologist's and inspector's license may also specify in which category or categories the candidate has qualified.
Upon expiration of a license, only the highest license for which the holder has eligibility in a series will be issued. When a lower license in a series expires, a renewal license will no longer be issued while a higher license is in effect. The holder shall retain eligibility in the lower classification as long as the higher license remains valid. If a State or county employee fails to renew the higher license at its expiration, a lower license will be renewed and issued for the classification in which he/she is employed and only for those categories in which he/she had eligibility.
