HB 1216 updates Oklahoma's Construction Industries Board authority to enforce licensing rules for plumbing, electrical, roofing, mechanical trades, and home inspection. It establishes a five-times penalty for repeat violations of licensing rules, requires all fines to be reviewed by the full Board within 90 days, and mandates annual audits of collected fees and penalties. The bill affects licensed contractors, inspectors, and related businesses regulated under the Board's jurisdiction. It explicitly excludes public utilities, gas plants, and similar entities from being subject to these fines.
