The bill amends the definition of "roofing contractor" in section 489.105 of the Florida Statutes, expanding the scope of work to include all related tasks such as skylights, roof-deck attachments, and enhancements to roof-to-wall connections, while removing previous language that limited the scope. Additionally, it revises the cancellation policy for residential property owners regarding contracts for roof replacement or repair during a state of emergency, allowing cancellation without penalty within 10 days of contract execution or by the official start date, which is now defined more clearly. The required language in contracts executed during a state of emergency has also been updated to reflect these changes.

Furthermore, the bill reenacts several sections of the Florida Statutes to incorporate the amendments made to section 489.105, ensuring consistency across related laws governing the Construction Industry Licensing Board, contractor qualifications, and registration processes. The bill also specifies that contractors must include updated cancellation language in contracts executed during emergencies, with adjustments to font size for clarity. The effective date of the bill is upon becoming law.
