HB 1628 Oklahoma House · 2025 Regular Session

Roofing Contractor Registration Act; denial of registration or endorsement; residential roofer endorsement provisions; requirements; codification; effective date.

HB 1628 establishes a registration and endorsement system for roofing contractors in Oklahoma, requiring both commercial and residential roofers to obtain endorsements from the Construction Industries Board. The Board will set exam and training requirements, enforce quality standards, and handle applications, renewals, and denials for these endorsements. For violations, the Board can issue fines (starting at $500 for a first residential violation) or revoke endorsements after repeated offenses, with specific penalty tiers for residential work. This law directly affects roofing contractors seeking to operate in Oklahoma and expands the Board's regulatory authority over the industry.
