Bill > S4582

This bill provides for a new business permit for pool and spa service businesses, allowing them to operate as general contractors for pool and spa building, installation, and service contracting. The bill defines key terms such as "pool and spa service business" as a business entity engaged in managing and coordinating pool and spa projects, and "subcontractor" as a business entity that works under a pool and spa service business. To obtain a business permit, a company must have at least one employee with a valid pool and spa builder and installer or service contractor license, pay required fees, and meet additional board requirements. The permit will be valid for three years and will authorize the business to serve as a general contractor for pool and spa projects, provided that specialized work is performed by appropriately licensed professionals. Subcontractors working under a pool and spa service business will not be required to obtain individual licenses but must work under the supervision of a licensed professional. The board, in consultation with an advisory committee, will develop regulations to implement the bill, and the act will take effect on the first day of the 10th month following enactment.
