Bill > S4582

Introduced Session

This bill provides for the permit of a pool and spa service business as a general contractor for pool and spa building and installation and pool and spa service contracting. The bill defines "pool and spa service business" as a partnership, corporation, or any other business entity engaged in the management and coordination of all phases of pool and spa building and installation and pool and spa contracting and holds a valid business license. The bill requires that a pool and spa service business shall secure a business permit from the Pool and Spa Service Contractors and Pool and Spa Builders and Installers Advisory Committee prior to engaging in the performance of any work. The board will issue a permit to a business: (1) where at least one employee holds a valid pool and spa builder and installer license or pool and spa contractor license issued by the board; (2) that pays required application and renewal fees; and (3) that meets any additional requirements established by the board. Business permits must be renewed every three years. Under the bill, a pool and spa service business holding a valid permit is authorized to serve as a general contractor for all aspects of pool and spa building and installation and pool and spa contracting, provided that all specialized work is performed by appropriately licensed professionals where required by law. Finally, the bill establishes that subcontractors working under a pool and spa service business are not required to obtain a separate license but are required to perform work under the supervision of a permitted pool and spa service business.
