Summary
The bill amends West Virginia’s contractor licensing definition so that a contractor may be engaged for residential work costing $10,000 or more, instead of the current $5,000 threshold. By increasing this limit, more small‑scale residential projects will fall under the licensing regime, affecting homeowners, contractors, and the state licensing board.
