Description
Licensing of contractors by localities; civil penalty. Permits a locality, in addition to current regulatory authority, to require every home improvement contractor to provide, prior to entering into any contract for service, satisfactory proof that he is duly licensed and has obtained any required bond or insurance. The ordinance adopted by the locality may establish a civil penalty that may be assessed when the contractor (i) fails to provide satisfactory proof of licensure or possession of any required bond or insurance or (ii) falsely represents to the customer that he is licensed, bonded, or insured.
