Bill Summary
Amending the act of October 17, 2008 (P.L.1645, No.132), entitled "An act providing for the regulation of home improvement contracts and for the registration of certain contractors; prohibiting certain acts; and providing for penalties," further providing for procedures for registration as a contractor.
AI Summary
This bill amends the Home Improvement Consumer Protection Act by modifying the contractor registration procedures to require proof of workers' compensation coverage when applying for registration. Specifically, the bill adds a new subparagraph to the existing registration requirements, mandating that contractors provide documentation showing compliance with the Workers' Compensation Act (a state law that governs workplace injury insurance). When applying to register as a contractor, individuals must now submit evidence that they have workers' compensation insurance, which protects employees in case of work-related injuries or illnesses. This new requirement will be implemented 60 days after the bill's enactment, giving contractors time to obtain the necessary documentation. The change aims to ensure that home improvement contractors have appropriate insurance coverage to protect their workers, potentially providing greater safety and financial security for employees in this industry.
