Bill > SB296

This bill creates provisions related to the statewide licensing of home improvement contractors and salespersons. It establishes the Missouri Board of Home Improvement Contractors, which will oversee the licensing and regulation of these contractors and salespersons. The bill sets forth requirements for obtaining a license, including background checks and financial responsibility measures. It also prohibits certain practices by contractors and salespersons and provides penalties for violations, including civil fines and the ability for the Attorney General to seek injunctions. The bill preempts local regulation that is inconsistent with its provisions, but allows local enforcement of the state law.
