Summary

The bill creates a new Residential Construction Board to set standards, approve curricula, and issue licenses for residential general contractors. Contractors with contracts over $15,000 or involving multiple licensed professionals must obtain a license starting in 2027, with several exemptions for licensed trades, designers, material suppliers, and public entities. It also limits down‑payment amounts and provides a $35 per‑day stipend for board members.
