Bill > HB3957

This bill transfers regulatory oversight of construction labor contractors from the Bureau of Labor and Industries to the Construction Contractors Board, creating a new licensing and regulatory framework for these workers. Specifically, the bill defines "construction labor contractors" as individuals or businesses that recruit, solicit, supply, or employ workers for construction work, and requires them to obtain a specific license and endorsement from the Construction Contractors Board. The legislation establishes requirements for obtaining and maintaining such a license, including filing a surety bond, maintaining insurance, and meeting specific operational standards. Construction labor contractors will now be subject to similar regulatory scrutiny as other types of contractors, including potential license suspension or revocation for violations such as misrepresentation, fraudulent practices, or failure to pay workers. The bill also makes various technical amendments to existing statutes to integrate construction labor contractors into the existing regulatory system. The new provisions will become operative on January 1, 2026, giving the Construction Contractors Board time to develop and implement the necessary rules and processes for licensing and overseeing these contractors.
