SB 540 Pennsylvania Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

An Act amending the act of October 17, 2008 (P.L.1645, No.132), known as the Home Improvement Consumer Protection Act, further providing for procedures for registration as a contractor.

SB 540 amends Pennsylvania's Home Improvement Consumer Protection Act to require home improvement contractors to submit proof of workers' compensation coverage as part of their registration application. This new requirement, added to the registration form, ensures contractors meet state insurance standards before operating legally. The bill directly affects all contractors seeking to register or renew their registration in Pennsylvania under the Home Improvement Consumer Protection Act. It becomes effective 60 days after enactment without altering other consumer protections in the law.
