handymen; contractor's license; exemption

HB 2120 amends Arizona's contractor licensing law to raise the exemption threshold for unlicensed work from $1,000 to $3,500 for certain small home repairs and installations. It directly affects homeowners performing their own work, retailers selling/installing finished products (like standard appliances or fixtures), and handymen doing minor projects under this value. Key provisions include clarifying that work involving electrical items, batteries, or fastening to structures remains exempt if the total value stays below $3,500, and requiring developers to list licensed contractor details in sales documents. The bill does not change licensing requirements for larger projects or professional services like engineering.
