Removing persons who perform drywall services from definition of “contractor” in Contractor Licensing Act

SB 871 removes drywall installers from the legal definition of "contractor" under West Virginia's Contractor Licensing Act. This change specifically amends Section 30-42-3(d)(6) to explicitly exclude "persons who perform landscaping, drywall installation and related services" from licensing requirements. As a result, drywall installers working for commercial or residential clients will no longer need a contractor's license for their services. The bill directly affects drywall professionals by eliminating a licensing barrier for their specific work.
