AI Summary
This bill requires that businesses performing commercial or retail paving using hot mix or warm mix asphalt, which is a type of asphalt used for paving, must register as construction contractors. It also establishes that it is illegal to purchase this type of asphalt for commercial or retail paving if you are not registered, and doing so can result in a gross misdemeanor charge, which is a serious criminal offense. Furthermore, sellers of hot mix or warm mix asphalt can face civil penalties, meaning fines, if they sell to unregistered individuals or entities, unless the buyer attests the asphalt is for personal use and purchases it in limited quantities (no more than five tons per transaction or ten tons per year). The bill also clarifies that sellers who refuse to sell asphalt based on these registration requirements are protected from civil liability. These provisions are set to take effect for violations and crimes committed on or after August 1, 2027.
