This bill proposes to amend several sections of the Arizona Revised Statutes related to contractors, primarily by increasing the monetary thresholds for certain exemptions. Specifically, the bill raises the limit for the total value of sales contracts or transactions involving materials and installation from $1,000 to $3,500. This change applies to various provisions, including those concerning materialmen, manufacturers, and retailers, as well as exemptions for work performed by unlicensed individuals. Additionally, the bill modifies the language regarding the installation of electrical fixtures and appliances, clarifying that the installation does not include certain preparatory work such as digging or trenching. The bill also stipulates that any contracts exceeding the new threshold of $3,500 will result in a one-year licensing prohibition for unlicensed entities that bid on such contracts. Overall, these updates aim to modernize the statutes and provide clearer guidelines for contractors and consumers.
