The bill amends section 2403 of the Occupational Code to clarify the circumstances under which individuals may engage in the business of residential building or maintenance without a license. It specifies that certain individuals, such as authorized representatives of government entities, property owners working on their own properties, and licensed electrical, plumbing, and mechanical contractors, are exempt from licensing requirements. Additionally, it introduces a new exemption for individuals who engage solely in the business of sanding floors.

The bill also makes several grammatical adjustments, including changing "that" to "who" in reference to licensed contractors, and it adds a new category of exemption for those working on projects with a total contract price of less than $600, provided that the work is not part of a larger operation intended to evade licensing requirements. Overall, the amendments aim to streamline the licensing process while ensuring that specific roles and small-scale projects remain accessible to individuals without the need for a formal license.
