HB2077 is a bill that proposes amendments to the Arizona Revised Statutes relating to the Registrar of Contractors (ROC). The bill aims to revise ROC statutes concerning licensing and administrative decisions and expands the list of individuals eligible for an agency license fee waiver.

Key changes proposed by the bill include the removal of the requirement for the ROC to publicly post a list of applicants for a contractor license and to maintain a list of persons convicted of contracting without a license. It clarifies that the ROC may not issue a new license to any person named on a revoked license for one year. Additionally, the bill specifies that contractors contesting payments from the Residential Contractors' Recovery Fund bear the burden of proof at the hearing. The bill also extends the initial agency license fee waiver to include active duty military service members within one year of discharge and active members of the military reserve forces. Technical changes are made to update language and correct terminology.
