AI Summary
This bill strengthens regulations around licensing and credentials for workers in building trades by modifying several existing Oregon statutes. The bill requires building permits to include the Construction Contractors Board license number of the contractor (if known), mandates that building inspectors verify workers' licensing and certification credentials during inspections, and compels municipalities to ensure that permit holders have the appropriate licenses. Additionally, the bill requires the Director of the Department of Consumer and Business Services to inform the Construction Contractors Board when there is reason to believe someone is violating licensing laws. Specifically, the bill amends four sections of Oregon Revised Statutes to clarify and expand requirements for licensing in construction-related activities, with the overarching goal of ensuring that only qualified, licensed professionals perform regulated building work. This helps protect public safety by reducing the risk of substandard construction and ensuring that contractors meet established professional standards.
