Bill > HB2462

This bill modifies the time limits for filing complaints with the Construction Contractors Board (CCB), significantly expanding and clarifying the periods during which owners and contractors can submit complaints about construction work. For new structures, owners can now file a complaint within one year of first occupancy or two years after substantial completion. For existing structures, owners have six years from the contract date or one year after receiving a written notice of completed work from the contractor, whichever comes first. The bill introduces new requirements for contractors to provide written notices that specify work completion, total cost, and complaint filing deadlines. For situations where a contractor fails to begin or complete work, owners can file complaints within one year or up to six years from the contract date. The bill also maintains existing provisions for complaints filed by licensed contractors, subcontractors, employees, and material suppliers, generally preserving their one-year filing windows. These changes aim to provide more clarity and flexibility in the complaint process while establishing clearer timelines for resolving construction-related disputes. The bill will take effect on the 91st day following the adjournment of the 2025 regular legislative session.
