CRIME: Provides relative to residential contractor fraud (EN SEE FISC NOTE GF EX)

This bill amends the Louisiana law regarding residential contractor fraud to strengthen penalties and restitution requirements for offenders. It mandates that anyone convicted of this crime must pay full restitution to victims, covering both the cost of repairing fraudulent work and completing unfinished projects. Additionally, the legislation imposes a mandatory prison sentence of up to five years for cases where the victim is sixty-five years of age or older. These changes aim to provide greater financial recovery for victims and ensure stricter consequences for those who commit fraud against senior homeowners.
