Overview
This bill changes where lawsuits can be filed for home improvement contracts. It establishes that civil actions related to these contracts – whether brought by a contractor or a homeowner – must be filed in the county where the property being improved is located. This aims to make it easier for contractors, particularly in coastal areas, to pursue legal action against homeowners who haven't paid for services.
