• Contractor Registration: The Home Improvement Contractor Registration Act. At the end of June, Senator Tomlinson, prime sponsor of SB 100, and Rep. McCall, prime sponsor of HB 507, held discussions over which of these pieces of legislation would move prior to the summer break. Senate Bill 100 was the bill to move, and was passed by the House and Senate with only amendments we approved. The Governor is expected to sign the bill this week. The effective date of this legislation is July 1, 2009. PBA will be doing training for those locals who wish to learn more, as well as creating a model contract for members to use.
