The bill establishes a regulatory framework for reroofing contractors in Texas, to be overseen by the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation through the introduction of Chapter 1306 to the Occupations Code. It defines key terms such as "licensed reroofing contractor" and "reroofing project," and outlines the department's powers, including the issuance and renewal of licenses, fee establishment, and the creation of an advisory board composed of seven members. This board will provide guidance on industry practices and educational matters. Additionally, licensed contractors are required to include their license number in contracts and advertisements to promote transparency.

The bill also introduces provisions for administrative sanctions and civil penalties, allowing the Texas Commission of Licensing and Regulation to impose sanctions and enabling the attorney general or executive director to seek civil penalties of up to $500 for each violation. The Texas Commission is mandated to establish rules, procedures, and fees by April 1, 2026, but will not begin issuing licenses until June 1, 2026. The effective date for the Act is set for September 1, 2025, aiming to enhance consumer protection and professional standards within the reroofing industry in Texas.
