Bill overview
This bill strengthens regulations for home improvement contractors in California. It expands the definition of ‘home improvement’ to include construction of accessory dwelling units and clarifies prohibited business practices related to contracts. Specifically, it prohibits contractors from requesting or accepting payments for work not performed or materials not supplied, which could cause financial loss to consumers, and increases penalties for violations. The bill also addresses issues related to downpayments and progress payments, aiming to protect homeowners from deceptive practices.
