Bill No. 516, introduced by Senators Alvord and Dempsey, amends the Roofing Contractor Registration Act to enhance the regulatory framework surrounding roofing contractors in Oklahoma. Key modifications include the establishment of a Roofing Hearing Board authorized to investigate complaints against roofing contractors for violations, such as operating without a valid registration. The registrar's responsibilities are updated to include recording the date of complaint receipt and processing complaints according to the law, while also notifying the contractor involved within five days. The bill also allows for the involvement of a Roofing Examiners Committee member in investigations referred to the district attorney.

Additionally, the bill modernizes the verification system for roofing contractor registrations, requiring the registrar to implement an online or technological system for public access to registration statuses. The previous requirement for the system to include detailed notations of complaints and responses has been removed, streamlining the information provided. The act is set to take effect on November 1, 2025.
