Bill > SB01294

This bill modifies existing regulations for home improvement professionals by updating disclosure requirements. Currently, home improvement professionals are required to exhibit their registration certificate when requested, state their registration status in advertisements, and include their registration number in advertisements. The new bill provides an alternative method of meeting these disclosure requirements: instead of directly stating registration information in an advertisement, professionals can include a web address where the public can view their registration status and registration number. This change gives home improvement professionals more flexibility in how they communicate their credentials, allowing them to direct potential customers to an online platform that contains their registration details. The bill will take effect on October 1, 2025, and applies to the existing statute governing home improvement professionals (section 20-427). The modification aims to modernize disclosure practices by leveraging internet technologies while maintaining the core requirement of transparency about professional registration.
