The bill amends the definition of "contractor" within the West Virginia Contractor Licensing Act to explicitly exclude individuals who perform drywall installation and related services for residential customers. This change aims to clarify the scope of who is considered a contractor under the law, thereby exempting those who provide drywall services from the licensing requirements that apply to other contractors.

In addition to this specific insertion, 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). These deletions streamline the definitions section of the law, focusing on the essential terms relevant to the licensing of contractors while ensuring that drywall service providers are not classified as contractors under the Act.
