This bill amends various sections of Florida Statutes related to air-conditioning systems and contractor regulations. It revises the definition of a Class A air-conditioning contractor in section 489.105 to expand their scope of work to include the installation and repair of package pool heaters, connections to existing pool piping, and the installation of pool/spa equipment, among other tasks. Additionally, it updates section 713.135 to clarify the applicability of notices of commencement, specifically stating that a notice is not required for contracts under $15,000, which will be adjusted annually based on the Consumer Price Index.

The bill also reenacts several sections to incorporate the amendments made to section 489.105, ensuring that references to contractor qualifications, restrictions, and compliance are consistent with the new definitions. These sections include qualifications for practice, registration of specialty contractors, conditions for recovery from the recovery fund, and compliance with energy conservation standards. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2025.
