Bill Summary
A BILL to amend and reenact §30-42-3 of the Code of West Virginia, 1931, as amended, relating to professions and occupations; and providing that the definition of "contractor" in the West Virginia Contractor Licensing Act does not include persons who perform residential drywall services.
AI Summary
This bill amends the West Virginia Contractor Licensing Act by excluding individuals who perform drywall installation and related services for residential customers from the definition of "contractor." The Contractor Licensing Act, which requires individuals to be licensed to perform construction work valued at $5,000 or more for residential projects or $25,000 or more for commercial projects, currently defines a contractor broadly. This change means that those solely performing residential drywall work will no longer need to obtain a contractor's license under this act.
