This bill proposes to repeal the existing statute that allows an administrative law judge to recommend restitution for individuals harmed by licensed contractors. Under current law, the administrative law judge has the authority to issue a recommendation for restitution to those who have suffered injury or property damage due to the actions of a contractor, as outlined in AR.S. §§ 32-1156, 32-1156.01, 41-1092.08. If the bill becomes law, it will result in the deletion of section 32-1156.01, effectively removing the provision that enables the recommendation of restitution by administrative law judges. The new language Section 32-1156.01, Arizona Revised Statutes, is repealed. will be inserted into the statutes, signifying the complete removal of this legal framework regarding restitution for contractor-related disputes.
