Modifying the definition of contractor.

HB 5489 increases the financial threshold requiring a contractor license for residential work in West Virginia from $5,000 to $10,000 per project. This change directly affects small residential contractors who currently must be licensed for projects costing $5,000 or more but would no longer need a license for projects between $5,000 and $10,000. The bill modifies the statutory definition of "contractor" in §30-42-3(d) to reflect this higher threshold for residential work, while commercial work remains at $25,000. This adjustment simplifies licensing requirements for minor residential projects without altering other contractor classifications or exemptions.
