Certain proof required before some types of asphalt can be legally sold, business entities that perform commercial or retail paving with hot mix or warm mix asphalt required to register as construction contractors, and civil and criminal penalties established.

HF 3510 requires businesses performing commercial or retail paving with hot mix or warm mix asphalt to register as construction contractors. It mandates sellers to verify this registration before selling asphalt to non-registered entities, with exceptions for personal use (max 5 tons per transaction or 10 tons yearly). Violations carry criminal penalties for buyers (gross misdemeanor) and civil fines up to $3,000 per violation for sellers. The law takes effect August 1, 2027, and amends Minnesota Statutes to include paving services under construction contractor licensing rules. This directly affects paving contractors and asphalt sellers, not residential homeowners using small amounts for personal projects.
