SUMMARY:

Board for Contractors; definitions, exemptions, Class C licenses. Deletes "owner-developer" from definitions. Currently, an owner-developer includes any person who performs or supervises construction, removal, repair or improvements when either the total value of the improvements on any single parcel is $70,000 or more or the total value of all such improvements in a 12-month period is $500,000 or more, but excludes (a) a person who performs or supervises the construction, removal, repair or improvement of (i) not more than one building upon his own real estate and for his own use during a 24-month period, (ii) a house on his own real property as a bona fide gift to an immediate family member, or (iii) industrial or manufacturing facilities for his own use and (b) any person who contracts with a duly licensed Class A building contractor to perform the work. Categories (i), (ii) and (iii) from the current definition of "owner-developer" are added to the other exemptions from licensure. The bill authorizes the Board to issue Class C licenses to electrical, plumbing and HVAC contractors. Currently, the statute provides for issuing Class C licenses to only building, highway/heavy and specialty contractors. There are technical amendments in this bill.
