An Act relative to contractor liability for unpermitted construction

This bill requires contractors to obtain all necessary permits for construction work and retain copies of permits for a reasonable time. It mandates new state rules imposing fines on contractors who perform work without required permits, including those under state building codes, local ordinances, or other laws. Contractors must provide permit documentation to authorities upon request. The law directly affects contractors who bypass permit requirements, making them financially liable for unpermitted work.
