CONTRACTORS: Provides with respect to prohibited contractor services
HB 388 prohibits contractors from making unsolicited contact with homeowners, including door hangers, flyers, text messages, emails, or unscheduled sales visits. This directly affects residential contractors who market services to homeowners without prior consent. Violators face fines of up to 20% of the contract value, plus administrative costs and attorney fees, determined by the licensing board based on the violation's severity and the contractor's history. The bill aims to reduce aggressive or unwanted sales tactics in home improvement services.
