Existing law authorizes, with certain exceptions, a licensed contractor to perform work of a type for which the contractor does not have a license in the applicable classification or subclassification, if the value of the work is less than $1,000, including labor and materials, and the work does not require a permit. (NRS 624.220) This bill increases the value of work that a licensed contractor may perform for which the contractor does not have a license in the applicable classification or subclassification to $7,600, including labor and materials, if the work does not require a permit. This bill also requires, beginning January 1, 2025, that the State Contractors' Board annually adjust this amount based on a measure of inflation commonly used in the industry that best captures the increasing cost of labor and materials. This bill further requires that the Board: (1) take any action to adjust the amount at a public meeting that complies with the provisions of the Open Meeting Law; and (2) publish the amount of the adjustment on the Internet website of the Board on or before January 1 of the year in which the adjustment will apply.
