The bill amends the Roofing Contractor Registration Act by updating the responsibilities of the registrar and enhancing the complaint handling process. It establishes the Roofing Hearing Board's authority to investigate complaints against roofing contractors, including those operating without valid registration. The registrar is required to record the date of receipt for each verified complaint and notify the contractor involved within five days. The bill also allows for the referral of complaints to the district attorney, regardless of whether the contractor responds to the complaint. Additionally, it introduces a new member designation, the Committee of Roofing Examiners, to assist in investigations.
Furthermore, the bill modernizes the verification system for roofing contractor registrations, ensuring that it is accessible through the Internet or other technologies. It removes previous requirements for the system to include detailed notations of complaints and responses, focusing instead on providing a general verification of registration status. The act is set to take effect on November 1, 2025.
