The bill amends the definition of "contractor" within the West Virginia Contractor Licensing Act to explicitly exclude individuals who perform drywall services for residential customers. This change is intended to clarify the scope of the licensing requirements for contractors, ensuring that those who solely provide drywall installation and related services for residential properties are not classified as contractors under the law.

In addition to this specific exclusion, the bill also removes several definitions from the existing law, including terms such as "basic universal design," "board," "cease and desist order," and various types of contractors (e.g., electrical, general building, plumbing). The overall effect of these amendments is to streamline the definitions related to contractor licensing while providing a clear exemption for drywall service providers in residential settings.
