Bill > HB222

This bill revises laws related to insurance and storm damage repairs. It establishes the "Montana Exterior Residential Storm Damage Repair Contracts Act," which sets requirements for contractors soliciting contracts for exterior residential storm damage repair services, including disclosure of contractor registration or licensing information and prohibitions on certain practices like offering to pay insurance deductibles. The bill also mandates specific disclosures in repair proposals and contracts, and provides consumers with a right to cancel contracts within 5 business days. Violations of the act are subject to the enforcement provisions and penalties in Montana's consumer protection laws.
