The bill amends the existing law regarding residential roofing endorsements in Oklahoma, establishing new requirements for roofing contractors. Starting November 1, 2026, all roofing contractors must obtain a residential roofing endorsement, which requires passing a residential roofing examination and meeting educational and training standards set by the Construction Industries Board. The bill eliminates the previous grandfathering provisions for applicants registered before the effective date and mandates that new applicants cannot engage in residential roofing work until they have received their endorsement. Additionally, the bill specifies that the endorsement will not apply to roofing labor contractors who only provide labor services without materials.

Furthermore, the bill introduces a new provision that prohibits non-licensed roofers from discussing insurance coverage, allowing them only to provide construction-related information. Violations of this provision will result in penalties, with fines of up to $1,000 per violation determined by the Construction Industries Board. The overall aim of the bill is to enhance the qualifications and accountability of roofing contractors in Oklahoma, ensuring that they meet standardized education and training requirements while also regulating their interactions regarding insurance matters.
