HB2092 is a bill that proposes to increase the monetary exemptions for handyman and other specific construction-related activities from $1,000 to $2,500. This includes the handyman exemption, the exemption for the sale or installation of finished products, materials, or merchandise, the exemption for a person working on one project under certain cost constraints, and the exemption for work that is part of a larger operation. The bill also seeks to raise the minimum civil penalty for violations of statutes, rules, or orders of the Registrar of Contractors from $200 to $500, while maintaining the maximum penalty of $2,500 for multiple violations committed on the same day.

The bill amends various sections of the Arizona Revised Statutes, specifically increasing the threshold for exemptions and penalties related to contractor licensure. It makes technical changes to ensure that the new thresholds are consistently applied across different exemptions. Additionally, the bill clarifies that certain low-voltage installations by cable, satellite, and telecommunications providers do not fall under the contractor licensure requirements. The proposed changes aim to update the existing regulations and penalties to reflect current economic conditions.
