Bill > HB129

This bill amends sections of the Ohio Revised Code to require licensure of commercial roofing contractors. Specifically, it: - Adds a new roofing section to the Ohio Construction Industry Licensing Board, which will have primary responsibility for licensing roofing contractors. - Requires roofing contractors to be licensed by the state, with some exceptions for smaller projects under $20,000. - Allows municipal corporations and county boards of commissioners to regulate roofing contractors, but only if the contractors are licensed by the state. - Provides a process for the Board to issue initial roofing licenses to experienced roofing contractors within 12 months of the effective date of the bill. - Delays the effective date of the licensure requirement for 180 days after the bill's effective date to allow time for implementation. The bill aims to establish statewide licensure requirements for commercial roofing contractors to help ensure quality and safety in the roofing industry.
