This bill amends Arkansas Code 17-25-103(d) regarding the enforcement of provisions related to contractors. The new language specifies that, with certain conditions, contractors who are in violation of the law may still bring actions for unjust enrichment or quantum meruit. Specifically, a contractor can pursue these actions if they timely pay any fines assessed by the board and properly apply for a contractor's license under the chapter.

The bill removes the previous prohibition against bringing actions at law or in equity for contracts entered into in violation of the chapter. This change allows for greater legal recourse for contractors who may have violated the law, provided they meet the specified conditions, thereby creating a pathway for them to seek compensation for their work despite prior violations.
