Bill Summary

Relative to contractor liability for unpermitted construction. State Administration and Regulatory Oversight.

AI Summary

This bill aims to amend the Massachusetts General Laws to allow the state to promulgate rules and regulations as part of the state building code. These regulations would mandate liability for contractors who perform work without the required permits, including building permits, environmental permits, and any other permits required by state law. The rules would include penalties for contractors who work without the necessary permits and would require contractors to either obtain the permits themselves or retain copies of permits provided by homeowners, which they must provide to permitting authorities upon request.
