Terminating WV Contractor Licensing Board

SB 616 would repeal all sections of West Virginia's Contractor Licensing Act (§30-42-1 through §30-42-20) and terminate the West Virginia Contractor Licensing Board. This bill directly affects licensed contractors who currently must obtain and maintain state licenses to work in the state. The key mechanism is the complete removal of the legal framework governing contractor licensing, including application processes, fees, renewal requirements, and disciplinary procedures. The bill would eliminate the requirement for contractors to hold state licenses and end the board's oversight of the profession.
