The bill amends Sections 34-8-1 and 34-8-7 of the Code of Alabama 1975 to increase the threshold cost for an individual to be considered a general contractor from $50,000 to $100,000. This change means that individuals undertaking construction projects costing less than $100,000 will not be classified as general contractors under Alabama law. Additionally, the bill introduces a new exemption for labor brokers and temporary labor providers, allowing them to provide workers to general contractors without needing a separate license, as long as the temporary workers operate under the supervision and control of the general contractor.

Furthermore, the bill clarifies that while labor brokers are exempt from licensing requirements, they cannot act as subcontractors or take on a scope of work for a project as a subcontractor. The amendments also maintain existing exemptions for certain types of construction and maintenance work, including work done by government representatives and for personal property. The act is set to take effect on October 1, 2024.
