Relating to authorizing the Attorney General to promulgate a legislative rule relating to the prevention of unfair or deceptive acts or practices in home improvement transactions.

HB 4277 amends West Virginia law to authorize the Attorney General to create and enforce a specific rule (142 CSR 05) preventing unfair or deceptive practices in home improvement transactions, directly affecting home improvement contractors and consumers in the state. The bill adds a sunset provision requiring the rule to expire on August 1, 2036, unless renewed by the legislature. Key provisions include updating the rule’s authorization and establishing its fixed termination date. This focuses on concrete policy changes to regulate contractor conduct, not on predicted outcomes. The rule targets deceptive practices like misleading contracts or hidden fees during home repairs or renovations.
