Home Improvement Contractors - Disaster Mitigation Services and Fraudulent Insurance Acts - Regulation and Prohibition

Summary

The bill expands the legal definition of “home improvement” to cover specific disaster‑mitigation services such as boarding up, demolition, water‑mitigation equipment, tarping and roof or wall securing. It requires contractors to include new consumer‑notice provisions in contracts, lets owners rescind disaster‑mitigation contracts within five days, and lets counties set rules on in‑person solicitation of disaster victims. The changes aim to protect homeowners after emergencies and clarify licensing and contracting rules for contractors offering these services.
