RELATING TO CONTRACTORS.
HB 846 raises the dollar threshold for the handyman exemption under contractor licensing law from $1,500 to $2,500 per job. This change directly affects small home repair contractors who perform work below the new threshold, allowing them to operate without a state contractor license for those specific jobs. The key provision modifies the existing exemption rule to increase the maximum value of work that qualifies as "handyman" work without requiring licensing. This is a procedural adjustment to the licensing law, not a new policy.
