Law
Public works, exemptions
DIVISION OF OCCUPATIONAL AND PROFESSIONAL LICENSES – Amends existing law to exempt certain subcontractors from licensure, to increase a dollar amount related to an exemption, and to eliminate a class of licensure.

RS31360 / H0571

This Legislation improves local government options when selecting contractors and sub-contractors for construction projects. By changing the project value amount requiring a Public Works contractor license from $50,000 to $100,000, more contractors will be able to bid on small-scale local government projects without the need for a Public Works license. One class of Public Works licensing has also been eliminated as a result of this change.

This legislation causes no additional expenditure of funds at the state or local level of government nor does it cause an increase or decrease in revenue for state or local government therefore the legislation has no fiscal impact.
