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 $100,000 or more will be required to obtain a general contractor's license. 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 of the general contractor.

Furthermore, the bill clarifies that certain exemptions from licensing requirements will not apply to swimming pool contractors, although individuals constructing a swimming pool on their own property will still be exempt. It also outlines specific conditions under which subcontractors must operate, including reduced licensing fees and the requirement to submit financial statements and references. The act is set to take effect on October 1, 2024.
