CONTRACTORS: Provides relative to the Louisiana State Licensing Board for Contractors. (8/1/25)
SB 122 is a technical amendment to Louisiana's contractor licensing law, making minor corrections to existing statute language. It changes "of" to "for" in one section, corrects "judgments" to "judgment" in another, and updates a section header from "V. Electrical" to "V. Electrical." The bill does not alter licensing requirements, fees, or procedures for contractors or the Louisiana State Licensing Board for Contractors. These changes solely address typographical and formatting errors in the current law.
