Bill > SB130

This bill provides for the State Contractors' Board to issue a new type of "restricted license" for contractors, which is specifically designed for small-scale residential remodeling projects. The restricted license would be available to individuals with at least two years of trade experience, who have completed a business counseling course within the past year, and would authorize work only on single-family residential structures not exceeding three stories. Applicants must submit an application, pay required fees, and file a surety bond of at least $2,000. The license would be valid for two years and have a monetary limit of $7,000 (or potentially more as determined by the Board), and would allow contractors to perform contracts involving certain building trades. After holding a restricted license for two years, individuals may apply for a full contractor's license if they have no unresolved complaints. The bill requires the State Contractors' Board to develop specific regulations for these restricted licenses by January 1, 2027, including establishing application procedures, fees, and other necessary requirements. This new license type appears intended to provide a more accessible pathway for smaller contractors or those new to the industry to legally perform residential remodeling work.
