registrar of contractors; powers

This bill updates the powers and duties of Arizona's Registrar of Contractors to improve oversight and enforcement of construction regulations. It requires the registrar to maintain detailed records for at least seven years, establish minimum standards for workmanship, and issue citations for violations. The legislation also grants the registrar authority to investigate complaints even when local authorities have approved construction plans, while introducing new informal dispute resolution processes for homeowners and contractors. Additionally, the bill mandates that the registrar publicly post a list of license applicants for twenty days and expands the ability to accept grants for public education programs.
