What This Bill Does
This bill modifies the Utah Construction Trades Licensing Act.
Key Provisions
This bill:
- removes the licensing requirement for a person that only provides or offers to provide a list of subcontractors or suppliers;
- provides a coordination clause to substantively and technically coordinate changes between this bill and H.B. 40, Utah Construction Trades Licensing Act Amendments; and
- makes technical and conforming changes.
Plain-Language Summary
AI-generated summary. We recommend consulting the bill text for important decisions.
Under current Utah law, anyone who provides a list of subcontractors or suppliers for a fee on a construction project is classified as a "contractor" and must hold a contractor's license. This bill removes that specific activity from the definition of "contractor," meaning people who solely offer such referral lists no longer need a contractor's license to do so. People who charge fees for more involved services — like managing subcontractors, providing construction consulting, or offering project counseling — would still be required to hold a license.
