| A Message from the Executive Director, Charles G. Marceaux | |||||||||||||||||||
Law
Enacted: Charles G. Marceaux
Act 1146 of the 2003 Legislative Session: requires the registration of all home improvement contractor, sub-contractors, renovators, and remodelers, who bid and perform work valued at a monetary threshold of $7,500.00 and above. These contractors, weather self-employed or not, must register with the Louisiana State Licensing Board for Contractors, complete a home improvement registration form, pay an annual $50 registration fee and provide proof of worker's compensation and general liability of contracting work, valued at $7,500.00 and above may result in a fine and penalty of 25% of contract value for each occurrence for contractors not licensed and registered. The board hopes that all 303 cites, towns and villages, town and village permitting offices will continue to cooperate with the board in aggressively assist us in communicating the new law, which has been in effect since August 15, 2003. This is one of the best home owner consumer protections laws to pass through the Legislature. To obtain more information concerning the requirements of the law or to file a complaint for any alleged violation of Act 1146 on any contract dated March 1, 2004, contact the Louisiana State Licensing Board For Contractors at 1-800-256-1392 or visit us at www.lslbc.louisiana.gov.
