An Act amending the act of October 17, 2008 (P.L.1645, No.132), known as the Home Improvement Consumer Protection Act, further providing for definitions, for registration of contractors, for procedures for registration as a contractor, for application fees, for home improvement contracts and for home improvement fraud; and making a repeal.

This bill updates Pennsylvania's Home Improvement Consumer Protection Act to clarify who must register as a contractor and what work counts as home improvement. It expands the definition of a contractor to include independent workers hired by large retailers and raises the monetary threshold for required registration from $500 to $1,000. The legislation also adjusts the net worth threshold for exempt large retailers from $50 million to $50 million and adds specific exclusions for certain landscaping services and commercial conversions. Additionally, the bill introduces new requirements for out-of-state contractors to provide proof of good standing from their home jurisdictions.
