Bill > HF929

This bill modifies the definition of residential real estate in Minnesota's contractor recovery fund law to explicitly include private residential pools. Specifically, the bill expands the definition to cover private pools that are connected to residential real estate, controlled and used by the owner, their family, or invited guests, and are not used for business purposes. This change means that issues related to pool construction or renovation would now be eligible for potential recovery through the contractor recovery fund, which is a mechanism designed to provide financial recourse for property owners who have experienced problems with licensed residential contractors or remodelers. The bill does not change other key definitions in the statute, such as "gross annual receipts" or the time cycles for reporting, but instead focuses on broadening the scope of what is considered residential real estate for the purposes of contractor recovery. By adding private residential pools to the definition, the bill aims to provide homeowners with additional protection when hiring contractors for pool-related work.
