House Bill No. by Representative Glorioso amends existing laws regarding contractor services in Louisiana. The bill introduces a new prohibition against unsolicited homeowner contact, which includes methods such as door hangers, business cards, magnets, flyers, pamphlets, text messages, emails, and any unscheduled sales visits. This addition aims to regulate the manner in which contractors can approach potential clients, thereby protecting homeowners from unwanted solicitations.

Additionally, the bill modifies the penalties for violations of contractor service regulations. It increases the maximum fine from ten percent to twenty percent of the total contract or the value of the work bid or being performed in cases of violation. This change is intended to enhance compliance among contractors and ensure that they adhere to the established guidelines. The bill also allows for the imposition of administrative costs and attorney fees for each offense, taking into account the circumstances and seriousness of the violation.
