The bill amends Arkansas Code 17-25-103(d) to modify the conditions under which contractors can bring legal actions related to contract violations. Previously, no actions could be initiated by contractors in violation of the law, either at law or in equity, for enforcing contract provisions or for quantum meruit claims. The new language introduces an exception that allows contractors who are in violation of the chapter to bring actions for unjust enrichment or quantum meruit, provided they meet specific conditions.

To qualify for this exception, the contractor must timely pay any fines assessed by the board and properly apply for a contractor's license under the chapter. This amendment aims to provide a pathway for contractors who have violated the law to seek compensation for their work, as long as they comply with the stipulated requirements.
