Licensed contractors; require itemized statements and establish acceptable fees for residential builders and remodelers.

HB 99 requires licensed residential builders and remodelers in Mississippi to provide customers with a detailed cost breakdown within 15 days of a request, including invoices, material receipts, and labor fees. It also mandates the State Board of Contractors to set clear fee limits: no more than 20% of construction costs for large projects, or $150 per hour for small projects. Contractors who fail to provide itemized statements or charge fees exceeding these limits face disciplinary action or consumer protection lawsuits. The bill directly affects residential contractors and their customers by increasing transparency and preventing excessive fees.
