An Act relative to penalties for unlicensed work

This bill increases fines for unlicensed work in Massachusetts. It raises the maximum penalty for a first offense from $1,000 to $5,000 and for a subsequent offense from $2,500 to $10,000. The changes apply directly to individuals, firms, or corporations performing regulated work without proper licensing, as defined under Massachusetts law. Key provisions update specific sections of the General Laws to reflect these higher fine amounts for violations. The bill does not alter licensing requirements or create new offenses, only increasing financial penalties.
