CONCERNING UNFAIR PRACTICES RELATED TO RESIDENTIAL REAL ESTATE REPAIR CONTRACTS; AND TO REGULATE SOLICITING RESIDENTIAL CONTRACTORS AND TREE CONTRACTORS.
HB 1308 would have regulated how residential contractors and tree service companies solicit work, specifically targeting unfair practices in home repair contracts. The bill aimed to protect homeowners by prohibiting deceptive tactics (like falsely claiming licenses or insurance) during solicitation and requiring clear written terms before work begins. It directly affected homeowners entering repair agreements and contractors seeking residential clients. The bill was withdrawn by its author in April 2025 and did not become law.
