Bill > H4299

This bill amends the existing law in Massachusetts to modify the requirements for partial payments in home improvement contracts. Specifically, it limits the amount of any deposit required upfront to one-third of the total contract price or the cost of any custom materials, and it prohibits demanding final payment until the contract is completed to the satisfaction of both parties. The bill also states that a violation of these provisions would constitute an unfair or deceptive business practice under the state's consumer protection law.
